RACE RECAP
In a remarkable display of race craft, Justin Allgaier charged from 17th on the starting grid to win the GOVX 200 at Phoenix Raceway โ a gain of 16 positions that showcased both driver talent and team strategy. The No. 7 led 11 laps on the day and scored 70.1 fantasy points.
Jesse Love (No. 2) finished second, while Carson Kvapil (No. 1) completed the podium in third. The stage battles added another layer of intrigue: Sammy Smith captured Stage 1 and Jesse Love won Stage 2. The race featured multiple lead changes among several drivers โ Jesse Love led a race-high 114 laps but couldn't convert track dominance into the victory. Track position proved critical on this 1.5-mile layout, where clean air advantage and pit strategy defined the pecking order.
The biggest mover of the race was Rajah Caruth (No. 32), who charged from 25th to 8th โ a gain of 17 positions that made the No. 32 one of the top fantasy value plays. Parker Retzlaff also impressed, climbing from 31st to 14th.
The race wasn't without drama โ 2 drivers failed to finish. William Sawalich (started 15th) was collected in an accident after completing 173 laps. From a fantasy perspective, Justin Allgaier led all scorers with 70.1 points, followed by Jesse Love (65.4) and Carson Kvapil (53.2).
