Sam Mayer beat Ryan Sieg by just 0.002s, earning his fifth career NASCAR Xfinity win and his first of the 2024 season in truly dramatic fashion.
Sieg was making his 342nd career NASCAR Xfinity Series start, and was still searching for his first-ever win after 12 years of competition. He was leading at the white flag, but Mayer was able to cut under him and gain the advantage down the backstretch. But when Mayer slipped up in Turn 3, Sieg cut back under him and the two drag-raced to the finish line. It was a truly spectacular photo finish with Sieg door-slamming Mayer, who was up against the outside wall.
The caution flag was then displayed as three cars crashed on the frontstretch. Kyle Weatherman, Sheldon Creed, and Hailie Deegan were all involved. Sieg, a driver/owner who had never won before, got away on the ensuing restart. Jones and Herbst slammed doors, forcing Herbst to make an unscheduled pitstop. Mayer was closing in on Sieg, catching him at the white flag. The spectacular photo finish saw Mayer eclipse Sieg by just 0.002s, denying him the upset victory.
