We were probably going to be 10th or 11th but it was a good call there at the end.''Ĭindric spent the entire race running near the front, just as he did in sweeping the doubleheader at Kentucky and winning last week at Texas, where Kyle Busch had his car disqualified and that moved him up one spot into first place.

Ross Chastain, who also ran the Truck Series race Friday night but gave up his ride to Travis Pastrana on Saturday, rounded out the top 5. Sieg's gamble for track position paid off and he finished fourth. He got a do-over when a wreck occurred in Turn 1 deep in the field on the restart, but Burton still couldn't get enough momentum on the second attempt at a finish to push to the front. Burton's team had a much slower tire change than its Team Penske rival, and that put him playing catch-up when the race went to overtime.īurton wound up trapped behind Ryan Sieg, who chose not to pit and was on old tires, and never got a chance to race for the lead on the first try. Burton had built a huge lead over Cindric with three laps to go after a long green-flag run, but a caution flag caused everyone to pit. Harrison Burton was third after it appeared he, too, had the win locked up. ''Obviously, a great points day and now we'll just have to go to Road America.'' Instead, he wound up second after leading 131 of 175 laps in an otherwise dominant performance. ''Looking forward to celebrating back in victory lane.''Ĭindric had won both of the early stages and looked like he would tie Sam Ard's series record with his fourth consecutive Xfinity win. The heat is a big thing here,'' said Jones, who did a celebratory in front of the grandstand, which stood empty due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But Jones ran the Truck Series doubleheader on Friday night and earlier Saturday, giving him a little extra knowledge that he put to good use.
