Sammy Smith upsets the playoff picture with Talladega Xfinity win

Sammy Smith restarted on the front row alongside Riley Herbst as the race went into overtime. Leading the bottom train, he surged ahead after the outside line got stacked up. Driving the No. 8 JR Motorsports (JRM) Chevrolet, he then held off Ryan Sieg to earn his second-career win and his first victory of the 2024 season. 

"Just a great team," said Smith. "It's been a really tough year ... Man, it's been a while. It's been a struggle. I'm very happy to be here and looking (forward to) getting better on these ovals and road courses."
