Sport Clips Haircuts VFW Help a Hero 200

Justin Allgaier surged from 4th on the grid to capture the Sport Clips Haircuts VFW Help a Hero 200 at Darlington Raceway, methodically working through the field before taking control in the closing stages. The No. 7 led 31 laps on the day and scored 71.1 fantasy points.

Brandon Jones (No. 20) finished second, while Christopher Bell (No. 19) completed the podium in third. The stage battles added another layer of intrigue: Kyle Larson captured Stage 1 and Kyle Larson won Stage 2. The race featured multiple lead changes among several drivers — Kyle Larson led a race-high 107 laps but couldn't convert track dominance into the victory. The intermediate-track challenge of balancing speed and endurance tested every team's preparation and in-race adjustments.

The biggest mover of the race was Sammy Smith (No. 8), who charged from 18th to 9th — a gain of 9 positions that made the No. 8 one of the top fantasy value plays. Anthony Alfredo also impressed, climbing from 21st to 12th.

The race wasn't without drama — 3 drivers failed to finish. From a fantasy perspective, Justin Allgaier led all scorers with 71.1 points, followed by Kyle Larson (63.7) and Brandon Jones (50.9).
