NXS: Austin Hill takes third win of season in dramatic three wide finish under caution – Speedway Digest

Coming off a disqualification last week in the return of NASCAR to Rockingham Speedway, Jesse Love Jr. would put his car on the pole over teammate Austin Hill. The pair has already gone to victory lane in the first two superspeedway races of the season.

The opening stage would run calm and caution free with little challenge for the pole sitter Jesse Love taking the opening stage win of the day over Hill, Creed, Eckes and Sanchez rounding out the top-five.

Love’s first challenge of the day would come in the beginning of the second stage with Eckes, S. Smith, and J. Burton all taking turns leading.

Austin Hill turn at the lead would come with six laps remaining in the stage would hold off several challenges to take the stage win over Love, Almirola, Sanchez and S. Smith.

The first caution for cause of the day would come 80 laps into the event when S. Smith would get turned across the nose of J. Burton to collect Van Last, Sieg and others.

With laps winding down passing the 100 laps mark the fourth caution of the day would come out when Almirola would go up the track into the path of Legge before turning back down the track into the path of Jones, Earnhardt and others.

Zilisch and Allgaier would battle through the white flag lap before Zilisch would turn hard into the inside wall bringing out the final caution of the three as three cars of Austin Hill, Jeb Burton and Love would come three wide through the incident as NASCAR would finally throw the caution.

The trio of cars would ride around the track sitting just short of the tri-over waiting for a call from NASCAR on the official winner.

After NASCAR would take time to review footage at the time of caution Austin Hill would be ruled as the winner over Jeb Burton and Jesse Love.

The NASCAR Xfinity Series now moves onto Texas Motor Speedway next Saturday May 3 for Andy’s Frozen Custard 300 at 2 p.m. ET on CW Network.
