Austin Hill captured victory at Atlanta Motor Speedway in the Focused Health 250, leading from lap 152 to the finish line and claiming his fourth Xfinity Series win at his home track. Hill, from Winston, Ga., secured his third win of the season and swept both races in Atlanta, with seven of his career wins on superspeedway tracks. Despite handling issues, Hill’s strategic moves, advised by spotter Derek Kneeland, propelled him to victory with a decisive pass on the final lap. Surprised by the push from Toyota’s Corey Heim on the last lap, Hill held off Chandler Smith’s challenge to secure the win. The race was marked by a multi-car crash on lap 145, impacting contenders like Ryan Sieg in the Xfinity Series Playoffs chase.
