Low on fuel, Sam Mayer cleared out race leader Ty Gibbs with two laps to go and then passed Sheldon Creed to win Saturday’s NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Watkins Glen International.Mayer was among a handful of cars that were trying to stretch their fuel without a final pit stop but found himself in the danger zone as the race went into a two-lap overtime.
“The first restart, I got used up and thought I had a good one there. We had to work our tails off for this,” Mayer said. “We earned this one, for sure. Completing the top-10 were John Hunter Nemechek, Cole Custer, Chandler Smith, Alex Bowman and Jeb Burton.With the completion of lap 20, Gibbs held a more than four-second lead over Justin Allgaier and picked up the Stage 1 win. Mayer was third, Josh Berry fourth and Austin Hill rounded out the top five.
“That’s my fault. I was plugging my headphones in,” Williams said over his team radio. “It’s the dumbest I’ve ever done in my entire life.”With 20 laps remaining, Gibbs had built a more than three-second lead over Hill as Bowman and Custer battled for third.
