Harrison Burton Wins Hooters 250

     Harrison Burton captured the NASCAR Xfinity Racing Series Hooters 250 at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Saturday. It was his second victory of the season. NASCAR will have three other races run there for the rest of the weekend.
     Ryan Sieg was able to finish in front after Stage 1. Noah Gragson landed in first place at the end of Stage 2.
     Gragson had a dominate ten-second lead with 11 laps remaining, however a caution flag came up with seven laps to go. The race was restarted for overtime with 20 drivers in the same pack. Burton passed Gragson on the inside lane at the start of the final lap. Austin Cindric was second and Gragson ended up in third place. 
     Dale Earnhardt Jr. participated in this race and finished in fifth place. He has not driven a race car in NASCAR since the Southern 500 in Darlington, South Carolina last year. It was his 70th top five finish in the Xfinity Racing Series and his eighth top ten finish in his last nine starts.
