Justin Allgaier held off Aric Almirola to win Saturday’s The LiUNA! NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Las Vegas.
Allgaier passed Almirola coming off of pit road during the final stops, and Almirola charged back from about two seconds behind inside of 20 laps to go to within a couple car lengths. But Allgaier’s defensive driving forced Almirola to find a different line to run, which was less successful for the No. 19 Toyota in the final laps.
Allgaier earned his first victory of the season, and he now has wins in nine straight Xfinity Series seasons.
Connor Zilisch was competitive with Allgaier and Almirola in 3rd before the final pit stop sequence, but the rookie was penalized for speeding on pit road and had to serve a pass-through penalty. Zilisch finished 9th, the final car on the lead lap.
