NASCAR XFINITY ROCKINGHAM RESULTS: Jesse Love wins in overtime

Jesse Love restored third place to the first time on the overtime to win Saturday’s Nascar Xfinity race at Rockingham Speedway, the first XFinity race on the historic track since 2004.

Love led 53 rounds and stretched its fuel over the last 96 rounds to achieve his second win of the season and the third career of XFinity. He did this before a sold -out crowd at Rockingham.

Sammy Smith, who lost the lead to love on the overtime, ended a best second season. Smith raised the $ 100,000 bonus for winning the XFINITY DASH 4 CAND. It was his first Dash 4 cash bonus.

Parker Retzlaff overcame a flat tire with about 100 rounds to finish third and bind its best XFinity result.

Harrison Burton was fourth, and Brennan Poole completed the top five. Alpha Prime Racing finished two cars in the top five for the first time with Retzlaff and Poole.

Kasey Kahne, who made his first Nascar start since 2018, finished 15th after being collected in two separate incidents.

Saturday’s race was delayed with 14 warnings for 83 rounds and two red flags in the 256-Round race.

Katherine Legge could not qualify for the race, but replace JJ Yeley in a car for Joey Gase Motorsports. She ended last in the 38 car field after an accident. William Sawalich contacted Legge’s car while she was clapped. The contact spotted Legge’s car in the road of Kahne’s car, which damaged the right side of Kahne’s vehicle.

Phase 1 wins: Nick Sanchez
