Herbst used a last lap pass of Cole Custer to take the lead for the first time to win Stage 2 then completely dominated the final stage.

In his new role with the organization, Kenseth, the 2003 Cup Series champion and 2023 NASCAR Hall of Fame inductee, will provide guidance and strategy in competition areas while serving as a mentor to drivers Erik Jones and John Hunter Nemechek, who will join the team next season.

Nemechek, 26, hasn't been full-time in the Cup Series since 2020 when he drove for Front Row Motorsports. After finishing 27th in points and losing his ride at FRM, he then went and essentially repeated the NASCAR ladder system.

Hill took the lead during a round of pit stops under caution late in the race but a spin by Parker Kligerman with four of 147 laps remaining sent the race into a two-lap overtime.

Gibbs and A.J. Allmendinger were the class of the field from the start of Saturday’s race on the 14-turn, 2.439-mile course.

Nemechek was caught up in an accident early in the first stage involving his JGR teammates Sammy Smith and Ty Gibbs but made his way back to the front to win the second stage.

Mayer, a 20-year-old native of Franklin, Wisc., got around Parker Kligerman for the lead exiting Turn 14 and just before the start of the final lap of double overtime.

Hill and his No. 21 Richard Childress Racing team were among a handful of teams that were playing a fuel-mileage gamble and trying to make it to the end without another stop to gain track position.

Smith, who drives the No. 16 Chevrolet for Kaulig Racing, just edged John Hunter Nemechek to win the pole for Saturday's NASCAR Xfinity Series race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
