Taylor Gray was attempting to win for the first time in his NASCAR Xfinity Series career, while Sammy Smith was aiming to deny him on Saturday night. Through a series of restarts and a red flag, as the race became a crash fest, tensions mounted between the two leaders.
With only a few laps remaining, Smith ended up moving Gray, snatching the top spot away just before the race was pushed into overtime for a final sprint to the finish. Gray chose to give up the outside lane in order to start behind Smith for that pivotal restart. He quickly returned the favor, moving Smith out of the way and reclaiming the race lead and taking the white flag out front.
