While chaos ensued behind him, John Hunter Nemechek used the final restart at New Hampshire Motor Speedway to his advantage and claimed his fourth win of the NASCAR Xfinity Series season during overtime on Saturday afternoon.
The No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing driver finished .424 seconds ahead of polesitter Chandler Smith.
Behind the duo, on lap 205 of 206, Sheldon Creed and Cole Custer tangled on the frontstretch, also collecting Riley Herbst and Josh Williams. Richard Childress Racing’s Austin Hill, Kaulig Racing’s Daniel Hemric and Joe Gibbs Racing’s Sammy Smith capitalized on their competitors’ misfortune and finished inside the top five.
Nemechek, who also won last weekend’s Alsco Uniforms 250 at Atlanta (Ga.) Motor Speedway, is the first Xfinity Series driver to win back-to-back races this season.
JR Motorsports’ Justin Allgaier won the first stage of the Ambetter Health 200, while Smith won the second stage.
Allgaier, Jeb Burton, Williams, Brett Moffitt and Brandon Jones completed the top 10.
