Xfinity Series

By Seth Eggert, NASCAR Writer The last time the NASCAR Xfinity Series visited Charlotte Motor Speedway, NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Austin Dillon took a trip to victory lane. In doing so, Dillon swept both Charlotte Xfinity races last year.  NASCAR Sprint Cup Series regulars have won the last 13 Xfinity races at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The last time an Xfinity Series regular won at Charlotte Motor Speedway when Mike Bliss took the Miccosukee Resort & Gaming Chevrolet to victory lane in 2009. Dillon will once again be behind theRead More

By David Morgan, NASCAR Writer Throughout the 2016 season in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, Darrell Wallace, Jr. and his No. 6 Roush-Fenway Racing team have either been hit or miss, with finishes outside the top-10 occurring more often than not for the 22 year old. At the start of the weekend at Dover International Speedway, it looked like Saturday’s race at the Monster Mile was going to be more of the same after a crash in practice that caused Wallace and his team to break out the backup car, butRead More

By Reid Spencer, NASCAR Wire Service DOVER, Del. – NASCAR’s new Dash 4 Cash format agrees with Erik Jones – even when his No. 20 Toyota is running on older tires. Despite staying out on used rubber for a restart with five laps left in Saturday’s Ollie’s Bargain Outlet 200 at Dover International Speedway, Jones pulled away to beat runner-up Darrell Wallace Jr. to the finish line by 1.434 seconds. The victory was Jones second of the year, both on concrete tracks (Bristol and Dover). He has now won twoRead More

By Reid Spencer, NASCAR Wire Service TALLADEGA, Ala. – On his 41st birthday, Elliott Sadler got an unexpected present. When Saturday’s Sparks Energy 300 NASCAR XFINITY Series race ended under caution in overtime with the front-runners just short of the finish line, Sadler had the lead, after Joey Logano’s last-ditch attempt to block Sadler in the tri-oval ended with Logano’s No. 22 Team Penske Ford plowing nose-first into the outside wall. Brennan Poole got to the finish line first and thought he had won the race, until NASCAR officials reviewedRead More

By NASCAR Wire Service Sometimes second isn’t the first loser. Ty Dillon finished runner-up in last Saturday’s NASCAR XFINITY Series race at Richmond International Raceway, and received a nice consolation prize – the $100,000 Dash 4 Cash bonus. Dillon won his Heat to become eligible for the big-money award, then earned it by finishing highest among the four Dash 4 Cash drivers in the Main. As a result of his strong showing, the Richard Childress Racing driver ascended from sixth in the standings to third, 19 points back from DanielRead More

By Toby Christie, NASCAR Editor It’s been an unexpected break out year so far for Blake Koch and the newly formed Kaulig Racing team. Koch, who spent his first five seasons with under funded organizations, has scored both of his career NASCAR Xfinity Series top-10 finishes this season, one of which was recorded this past weekend at Richmond International Raceway when he finished a career-best eighth. It’s been a refreshing year to say the least, and one that many in the industry are happy to see from the 30-year-old driver.Read More

By Reid Spencer, NASCAR Wire Service RICHMOND, Va. – After a massive late-race wreck scrambled the running order in Saturday’s ToyotaCare 250, Dale Earnhardt Jr. survived a two-lap dash in overtime to win his first NASCAR XFINITY Series race since 2010 and the first in his own JR Motorsports equipment. Earnhardt held off Ty Dillon by .266 seconds in a main event that ran nine laps past its scheduled distance of 140 laps, but Dillon collected the $100,000 Dash 4 Cash bonus available to the two highest finishes among XFINITYRead More

By Joey Barnes, Editor-in-Chief No other driver has electrified NASCAR’s top-three touring series recently quite like Erik Jones. The 19-year-old has already conquered the Camping World Truck Series, winning the championship last season. Jones, a Joe Gibbs Racing development driver, also impressed last year in select races in relief of an injured Kyle Busch, most notably at Kansas Speedway, where he made his first career start and drove all the way up into the top-five before crashing out midway through. So, it only seems natural that Jones has been appointedRead More

By NASCAR Wire Service Erik Jones checked off an entire laundry list of accomplishments last Saturday at Bristol Motor Speedway. One, he won the first-ever Heat in a NASCAR XFINITY Series Dash 4 Cash race. Two, he captured the checkered flag in the Fitzgerald Glider Kits 300, defeating 2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion Kyle Busch in the process. Three, he earned the $100,000 Dash 4 Cash bonus as the highest finisher among NASCAR XFINITY Series regulars who were eligible for the Dash 4 Cash. And four, he clinched theRead More
