Redemption for Justin Allgaier in dominant NASCAR Xfinity win at Nashville
Justin Allgaier now has 28 career NASCAR Xfinity Series wins, earning his third victory of the season on Saturday night. The veteran driver absolutely dominated the Nashville event, winning both stages and collecting the checkered flag ahead of JR Motorsports teammate Connor Zilisch.
Allgaier led 101 of 188 laps, putting a difficult loss at Charlotte behind him. He was leading late in that race just one week ago, but went against his crew chief and chose to stay out on older tires in a decision that proved costly.

The Haas Factory Team duo of Sam Mayer and Sheldon Creed finished third and fourth, respectively. Newly crowned Coke 600 winner Ross Chastain made a late-race pass on Aric Almirola to take the final spot inside the top five. Almirola, Austin Hill, Jesse Love, Daniel Dye, and Carson Kvapil filled out the remainder of the top ten.
The final stage began with a restart stack-up that saw several cars go spinning. Brandon Jones, Christian Eckes, Ryan Ellis, Josh Williams, Kyle Sieg, and Anthony Alfredo with both Eckes and Elliss suffering race-ending damage.
Things got back underway following a lengthy cleanup with Creed in control, but not for long as Zilisch ran him down. After packing some air on the left rear of the No. 00 Ford, he powered into the race lead.

Zilisch's time out front was short-lived as a caution for polesitter William Sawalich spinning down the backstretch brought the field back together. On pit road, Jones won the race off as he did not take tires, having already used his final set following the previously mentioned restart incident.
Allgaier made a bold three-wide move for the lead, snatching the lead away in what would be the winning pass. Zilisch stayed close for most of the final run, but he never managed to mount a real challenge.
