A track record 11 caution flags turned this race into a battle for survival. But one driver didn’t mind the damage he received: Xfinity winner AJ Allmendinger.
Love led William Sawalich and Sean Hingorani to the checkered flag, building on his championship lead in the 2023 ARCA Menards Series standings.
Sawalich recovered from a mid-race spin to finish second while his rivalry with ARCA title contender Jesse Love flared back up.
If you’re wondering how chaotic a race Nashville Superspeedway can possibly be, you really don’t need to look much further than the Xfinity race on Saturday.
AJ Allmendinger pulled a spin-and-win at Nashville despite damage to the right-rear quarter panel – damage that Cole Custer thought was an advantage.
Rain washed out qualifying so the ARCA Menards Series starting lineup for this race was set according to practice speeds.
It is Allmendinger’s second win in three Xfinity Series starts in 2023.
Chastain will lead Tyler Reddick and Justin Haley to the green flag for the Nashville race later this afternoon.
The Stewart-Haas Racing driver will lead the field to green ahead of Chandler Smith and Sammy Smith.
