No Austin Hill win this go-around, but Richard Childress Racing still made an appearance in Victory Lane with 20-year-old Jesse Love, making it a fourth-consecutive NASCAR Xfinity Series season opener victory for the team.
Hill was once again a dominant force, winning Stage 2 before a mechanical failure sent him to the garage. That left the fate of RCR's win streak in the hands of his teammate, Love, who already had an Xfinity win going into Saturday night, from last season at Daytona's sister track, Talladega.
