To start the race, Jeffery Earnhardt placed the No. 3 Chevrolet Camaro on the pole, with none other than the legendary Larry McReynolds as his crew chief for the event. Earnhardt led the first 11 laps of the race, before a slow drop towards the middle of the 38-car field. He would stay within the top-20 for about the entire race, coming back to the front near the end. The No. 3 car would cross the finish line in 2nd, just behind race winner Noah Gragson. The finish would become Earnhardt's career best in the series.
Xfinity's "Dash 4 Cash" $100,000 prize returned this weekend, with AJ Allmendinger taking home the extra money for his No. 16 Kaulig Racing team. Rookie Austin Hill was in contention for the win and extra prize cash for about the entire race, rarely leaving the top-10. That is, until JR Motorsports' driver Sam Mayer completely lost control of his No. 1 Chevrolet Camaro, where it just turned into the side of Hill's No. 21 machine, taking it out of contention.
