A.J. Allmendinger won his first NASCAR Xfinity Series trophy of the season in the Ambetter Health 302 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, securing his spot in the season finale Championship race next month by beating Ryan Sieg by just 0.156s. Allmendinger, who led 102 out of 201 laps in his No. 16 Kaulig Racing Chevrolet, had to fend off Sieg in the closing laps to claim his 18th career win. Despite Sieg’s strong performance, Allmendinger emerged victorious, celebrating with his team and team owner Matt Kaulig, signaling a successful move to the NASCAR Cup Series next year. The race also saw notable performances from Justin Allgaier and Chandler Smith, with Allgaier leading 42 laps but ultimately finishing third, while Parker Kligerman placed fifth after being eliminated from the Playoffs the previous week.
