Noah Gragson said he’d win at Martinsville Speedway to earn a spot in the Xfinity Series championship and did just that Saturday night in NASCAR’s most compelling title race.
MARTINSVILLE, Va. –
Gragson beat Austin Cindric in a drag race to join the reigning champion in the Xfinity Series title race. He then burned the tires off his Chevrolet in victory celebration, and led his JRM crew as they climbed a spectator fence. Nemechek still advanced, but drivers up and down the grid complained about lousy on-track etiquette and amateur racing.
But Hemric wasn’t done and took the lead from Gragson with 19 laps to go. Hemric was strong enough to pull away toward the first win of his career – but a caution with six laps remaining sent the race to overtime.
