Xfinity Series Championship

Jesse Love surged from 6th on the grid to capture the Xfinity Series Championship at Phoenix Raceway, methodically working through the field before taking control in the closing stages. The No. 2 led 35 laps on the day and scored 64.5 fantasy points. The margin of victory was 0.861.

Connor Zilisch (No. 88) finished second, while Brandon Jones (No. 20) completed the podium in third. The stage battles added another layer of intrigue: Taylor Gray captured Stage 1 and Justin Allgaier won Stage 2. The race featured 15 lead changes among 6 drivers — Justin Allgaier led a race-high 83 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 6th — a gain of 12 positions that made the No. 8 one of the top fantasy value plays.

The race wasn't without drama — 2 drivers failed to finish. Ryan Sieg (started 10th) was collected in an accident after completing 150 laps, and Jeb Burton (started 11th) was collected in an accident after completing 36 laps. From a fantasy perspective, Jesse Love led all scorers with 64.5 points, followed by Justin Allgaier (58.3) and Connor Zilisch (52.7).
