Austin Dillon managed to win an amazing Boyd Gaming 300 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Dillon started on the pole (1st Place)
Ryan Blaney came in second, followed by Regan Smith, then Denny Hamlin filling in for the injured Kyle Busch in the No. 54 Toyota. Then it was Chase Elliott in 5th to round out the Top-5.
Brendan Gaughan, Darrell Wallace JR., Ty Dillon, Brennan Poole, and Daniel Suarez rounded out the Top-10.
Brian Scott had engine troubles the MOMENT of the first drop of the green flag. He instantly fell to the back of the pack, but no caution was thrown.
The first caution, which came on Lap 13, Scott had no hesitation in taking the car behind the pit-road wall.
Scott would finish 38/40. The only two drivers behind him were Mike Bliss, who brought out that first caution for hitting the wall, and Jeff Green in 40th.
The top-3 in the NASCAR XFINITY Series standings after today's race ARE:
(1) Ty Dillon (#3)
(2) Chris Buescher (#90)
(3) Ryan Reed (#16)
Erik Jones was wrecked in a late-race incident.
Ryan Blaney was really mad at himself for wrecking Jones, but Jones was mad too.
Jones's car was mangled on the front only, and he also went on an ambulance ride to the infield care center.
"I hate to see him wreck" said Blaney, who finished 2nd.
Blaney's car got EXTREMELY loose on the backstretch and directly hit Jones, which sent Jones into a spin.
"The 22 just lost it, obviously." said Jones.
Jones would go on to say that he basically saved the 22 (of Blaney) from wrecking, and how he wrecked instead.
Jones finished 29th.
But congratulations to Austin Dillon and we wish the best of luck to Erik Jones.
