Hello everyone and welcome back to Captain Josh's Pit Stop. Today I have an exclusive recap of the Xfinity Series race from Road America. This is because of the Monster Energy Cup Series having an off weekend. I also want to note that Lewis Hamilton won the Belgian Grand Prix on Sunday for Formula One. The Truck Series also had an off weekend. Now let's get this exclusive recap under way. Photo courtesy of Google images.
The Johnsonville 180 ran on Sunday afternoon with rookie James Davison on the pole in the Joe Gibbs #20 car with another rookie Austin Cindric alongside. Cindric is a regular in the Truck Series. The first and second stages consisted of 10 laps, with the final stage being 25 laps, making up the 45 lap race. Photo courtesy of Google images.
I apologize for not having a photo to show. The first incident occurred on lap 5 in stage 1. Ryan Sieg went off track in the kink, which is part of the track. Also, Scott Lagasse Jr went off track in a separate turn and went into the gravel trap. Both drivers continued on.
Polesitter James Davison won stage 1. He led most of the opening stage. Photo courtesy of Google images.
Another Truck regular, Christopher Bell, also ran the Xfinity race. He didn't have a good day however, as he would go off track in stage 2 at lap 14 with 7 to go in the stage. Bell went off in the same spot as Lagasse Jr did earlier in the race. Photo courtesy of Google images.
Stage 2 began to heat up, as the Xfinity regulars tried to get stage points towards the end of the stage. Ryan Reed tried a bit too hard going into turn 1 at the end of stage 2 with 2 to go in the stage. Reed would later crash as shown above in the race. Photo courtesy of Google images.
Daniel Hemric took home stage 2. He led towards the end of the stage. There was also a credit on the final lap as well involving James Davison and Ross Chastain. Photos courtesy of Google images.
At the end of the day, Jeremy Clements moved Matt Tifft out of the way with 2 laps to go to win his first career Xfinity Series win. Hope you enjoyed this exclusive recap. Next week, NASCAR goes back in time to the 80's for throwback weekend at Darlington. The Truck Series heads to Canada for their race. See ya then. Photos courtesy of Google images.
