Food City 300

Sheldon Creed surged from 10th on the grid to capture the Food City 300 at Bristol Motor Speedway, methodically working through the field before taking control in the closing stages. The No. 00 scored 35 fantasy points despite not leading a lap — proof that being in the right place at the right time is what wins races. The margin of victory was 0.381.

Sam Mayer (No. 41) finished second, while Carson Kvapil (No. 1) completed the podium in third. The stage battles added another layer of intrigue: Justin Allgaier captured Stage 1 and Connor Zilisch won Stage 2. The race featured 7 lead changes among 6 drivers — Connor Zilisch led a race-high 98 laps but couldn't convert track dominance into the victory. Bumpers were tools, not decoration, on this demanding short track where every inch of real estate was contested.

The biggest mover of the race was Jeremy Clements (No. 51), who charged from 26th to 9th — a gain of 17 positions that made the No. 51 one of the top fantasy value plays. Brandon Jones also impressed, climbing from 22nd to 11th.

The race wasn't without drama — 3 drivers failed to finish. Sammy Smith (started 14th) was collected in engine after completing 56 laps. From a fantasy perspective, Connor Zilisch led all scorers with 60.8 points, followed by Justin Allgaier (58.5) and Sam Mayer (56.8).
