Justin Allgaier continues to assert his dominance during the 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series season. After another dominant performance on Saturday night, a race where Allgaier led a race-high 101 laps, swept Stages 1 and 2, and had the Xfinity Fastest Lap, the driver is now up to three wins through the opening 14 races of the season.

The crazy thing is, without a few miscues while in position to win, Allgaier could have more trophies on the mantle.

“These guys right here, they deserve this more than anything. I screwed them over last week by making a pit call. Had equally as good of a car, but this Hellmann’s Chevrolet was absolutely on rails,” Allgaier said after the race.

Allgaier took his 28th career win by a victory margin of 1.289 seconds over his JR Motorsports teammate Connor Zilisch. With the win, Allgaier saw his regular-season point lead balloon to 92 points over Austin Hill.

Chase Briscoe Earns Second Straight Pole With Track Record Lap

I think it’s safe to assume Chase Briscoe is starting to become acclimated to the speed in the Joe Gibbs Racing Toyotas. The driver of the No. 19 Bass Pro Shops Toyota Camry XSE captured his second consecutive pole position on Saturday afternoon, and he’ll lead the field to green in Sunday’s Cracker Barrel 400 at Nashville Superspeedway.

Briscoe shattered the previous track record with a lap time of 29.125 seconds (164.395 mph). Aric Almirola held the track record at Nashville with a 29.557-second lap at the track in qualifying during the 2021 season.

Denny Hamlin narrowly missed out on the pole and is slated to roll from the starting grid from the second spot, but Hamlin is on baby watch and could miss the race. If Hamlin has to step away, Ryan Truex will step into the No. 11 Toyota.
