Sport Clips VFW 200

Brandon Jones delivered a commanding performance in the Sport Clips VFW 200 at Darlington Raceway, converting a 2nd-place starting position into a trip to victory lane. The No. 20 led 24 laps on the day and scored 69.4 fantasy points. The margin of victory was 1.105.

Chase Elliott (No. 17) finished second, while Justin Allgaier (No. 7) completed the podium in third. The stage battles added another layer of intrigue: Harrison Burton captured Stage 1 and Justin Allgaier won Stage 2. The race featured 14 lead changes among 9 drivers — Justin Allgaier led a race-high 56 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 Ross Chastain (No. 9), who charged from 27th to 4th — a gain of 23 positions that made the No. 9 one of the top fantasy value plays. Connor Zilisch also impressed, climbing from 16th to 6th.

The race wasn't without drama — 2 drivers failed to finish. Kris Wright (started 13th) was collected in suspension after completing 27 laps. From a fantasy perspective, Brandon Jones led all scorers with 69.4 points, followed by Justin Allgaier (58.6) and Ross Chastain (45.1).
