Xfinity Series

What a difference a week makes. After experiencing pure frustration last weekend at Watkins Glen International, Regan Smith answered his second road course race of the season with a bump-and-run on leader Alex Tagliani in the second-to-last corner on the last lap.

Penalty? So what? Polesitter Joey Logano shook off a pit road infraction that sent him to the back of the field early in Saturday’s Zippo 200 at The Glen.

As the cautions — and wreckage — piled up, Ryan Blaney didn’t blink.

With a relentless charge that forced Ryan Blaney into a mistake on the final lap, Kyle Busch grabbed the lead with a half-lap left at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and took the checkered flag in Saturday’s Lilly Diabetes 250 NASCAR Xfinity Series race.

To Denny Hamlin, it was just hard short-track racing for the win. To runner-up Austin Dillon, it was unnecessarily aggressive driving that led to Hamlin’s victory in the Lakes Region 200 NASCAR Xfinity Series race on Saturday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

Brad Keselowski held of Erik Jones and a charging Kyle Busch after a restart with 31 laps left and collected his first NASCAR Xfinity Series victory of the season in Friday night’s Kentucky 300 at Kentucky Speedway.

Austin Dillon led just nine laps Saturday night, including the one that mattered most.

Erik Jones’ last-ditch push had a victory payoff on Sunday. Neck-and-neck with Ryan Blaney entering the final dozen laps, Jones finally slipped ahead after a restart and rolled to a 1.958-second victory margin in Sunday’s Owens Corning AttiCat 300 race at Chicagoland Speedway.

One week after the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race was cut short due to rain, the NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, Ill. has been postponed due to rain.

Despite being from Dawsonville, Ga., over 700 miles away from Chicago, Ill., Chase Elliott happens to really like the Windy City.
