The NASCAR Xfinity Series visited Talladega Superspeedway on Saturday afternoon in the United Rentals 250. Jesse Love started the race on the pole, with William Sawalich starting second.

Austin Hill led a race-high 48 laps, including sweeping the stages, and leading the final 38 laps to hold off Carson Kvapil by 0.105 seconds in overtime for his fourth win of the season. Of the four wins, he won the spring Talladega race earlier this year. Justin Allgaier, Christian Eckes, and Caesar Bacarella rounded out the top five. Blaine Perkins, Parker Retzlaff, Leland Honeyman, Sammy Smith, and Jesse Love completed the top ten.

There were five cautions for 22 laps, and 17 lead changes among 10 drivers. There were two multicar crashes, one of which led to a red flag. Among the drivers involved in these catches were Connor Zilisch, Aric Almirola, Sheldon Creed, and Sam Mayer.

The Xfinity Series heads to Martinsville Speedway next Saturday at 7:30 pm on The CW.
