Nemechek cruises to dominant NASCAR Xfinity win at Las Vegas
In the NASCAR Xfinity Series race, Nemechek and Chandler Smith from Joe Gibbs Racing fought for the lead throughout the race, with Nemechek taking charge before the final green flag pit stops. Nemechek maintained a significant lead after pit stops and secured the victory with a 4.360-second lead over Cole Custer, while Smith finished third. Despite Smith winning the first two stages, Nemechek led the most laps (99 out of 200) during the race in Las Vegas. Nemechek’s win ended Hill’s two-race winning streak and made him the first non-Chevrolet driver to win a NASCAR national series race in the season’s first eight events. Shane van Gisbergen retired early due to engine problems, while Chandler Smith claimed Stage 1 and 2 wins before Nemechek took the lead towards the end and secured the win.
