Texas Motor Speedway took its toll on the field, but Justin Allgaier was poised to dominate, taking pole position and sweeping the stages, bound for Victory Lane.
However, with seven laps to go, Parker Kligerman and John Hunter Nemechek took advantage of contact, dashing past Allgaier, with championship favorite Nemechek landing on Victory Lane, earning him a spot in the Round of Eight. Sammy Smith and Chandler Smith finished third and fourth ahead of Allgaier in fifth.

NASCAR Xfinity Series: Drive for the Cure 250 Betting Preview
Take the Top Two Drivers for a Top-Five Finish
Joe Gibbs Racing’s John H. Nemechek is a must-pick for a top-five finish but is down the odds to capture the win at Charlotte’s Roval. Nemechek has four consecutive top-three finishes and has three top-ten finishes on road courses this season.
JR Motorsports’ Justin Allgaier enters Charlotte as the favorite, having three top-five and four top-ten finishes in his last five races. At Charlotte’s Roval, Allgaier has two top-five and three top-ten finishes in five races, with an average finishing position of 11.2.
Win and Get in?
Stewart-Haas Racing’s Cole Custer has three top-five and six top-ten finishes in the last seven races. Custer is third in the Drivers’ Standings and could win his way into the playoffs, winning on Portland and Chicago’s road courses, finishing third at Watkins Glen, and sixth at Sonoma.
Richard Childress Racing’s Austin Hill is currently fourth in the Drivers’ standings but could use it to build momentum from his seventh-place finish at Texas. Hill has four top-five finishes on road courses this season but has only cracked the top 20 once on the Roval.
