After the checkered flag waved in the NASCAR Xfinity Series’ return to Rockingham Speedway, Sammy Smith was awarded the victory in the North Carolina Education Lottery 250 due to Jesse Love’s disqualification for violating a rule. Smith’s win was his first of the season and the third of his career, along with a $100,000 bonus as the winner of the final Xfinity Dash 4 Cash race of the season. Love was initially ecstatic about his victory before the violation was discovered, and fans celebrated the series’ return to Rockingham after nearly two decades. The race featured 14 cautions, with Parker Retzlaff finishing second, Harrison Burton third, and Brennan Poole fourth. Ryan Sieg led the most laps but was collected in a crash, ruining the Dash 4 Cash hopes of other contenders like Justin Allgaier and Brandon Jones.
