In the RAPTOR King of Tough 250 race, Jesse Love, a Sunoco rookie, led most of the laps but ultimately, his Richard Childress Racing teammate, Austin Hill, seized the victory. This win marked Hill’s third victory out of the last four races at Atlanta Motor Speedway and the eighth of his career. Despite starting from the pole and dominating much of the race, Love ran out of fuel during a two-lap overtime, allowing Hill to secure the win. Hill’s victory was also significant as he became the first driver since Tony Stewart in 2008 to win the first two events of an Xfinity season. The race saw Hill strategically saving fuel behind the leaders, enabling him to outlast his competitors and emerge victorious. The event also showcased the impressive performance of New Zealander Shane van Gisbergen, who finished third in only his second Xfinity Series start.
