Parker Kligerman led late and appeared to win his first career NASCAR Xfinity Series race, only to see victory snatched away at the last second due to a controversial caution flag.
Parker Kligerman took the lead from Shane van Gisbergen and held off Sam Mayer in a thrilling battle to seemingly escape playoff elimination and win for the first time in his NASCAR Xfinity career -- then, everything changed. The No. 42 of Leland Honeyman was buried beneath a tire barrier with two laps to go, but for some reason, NASCAR waited to throw the caution as they assessed the situation.
I thought I cut off Turn 7 enough but he somehow got below me and it was on from there. I got damage. It was full contact. Sam didn't do anything egregious. It was hard racing, but as close as you can be to the line. I said I wanted to cry, but I'm not gonna cry. I really love this game and I just really, really wanted that. It would have meant the world but it meant the world to be in that position.
