Jesse Love fastest in Xfinity Series' return to Rockingham

ROCKINGHAM, N.C. -- After surviving a NASCAR Overtime restart on Saturday, Richard Childress Racing's Jesse Love won the first Xfinity Series race at Rockingham Speedway in over two decades.

In the 256-lap event, the driver of the No. 2 Chevrolet led 53 laps to pick up his second Xfinity Series win of the 2025 season.

Sammy Smith, Parker Retzlaff, Harrison Burton and Brennan Poole rounded out the top five.

Taylor Gray, Austin Hill, Josh Williams, Jeb Burton and Daniel Dye completed the top 10.

With a second-place finish, Smith picked up the final $100,000 Dash 4 Cash bonus prize of the year.

The red flag came out after a wreck on the restart with 10 laps remaining. With drivers close on fuel, Kaulig Racing's Christian Eckes sputtered coming up to speed, causing a multicar incident that swept up Dash 4 Cash drivers Justin Allgaier and Brandon Jones. That led to another late-race stoppage.

Jones and Allgaier finished 13th and 22nd, respectively. The final Dash 4 Cash competitor, Carson Kvapil, finished 17th.

Ryan Sieg led a race-best 77 laps and finished 19th.

The Xfinity Series returns to action next Saturday at Talladega Superspeedway for the Ag-Pro 300 (4 p.m. ET, The CW, MRN Radio, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).
