Ryan Truex made it two straight NASCAR Xfinity Series wins at the Monster Mile, capturing the BetRivers 200 at his beloved home track.
Truex led just two laps - the final two - after a thrilling final stage featuring weather strategies, hard crashes and a two-overtime finish which saw him edge past Carson Kvapil on a restart.
"I can't believe it," said Truex, driving the No. 20 for Joe Gibbs Racing. "Our car was just good at the end when it matters. I felt a little bad running [Carson] up the hill.
"Thank you so much to the fans for being here. Love this track, love this crowd."
Anthony Alfredo won the $100,00 Dash 4 Cash bonus after Jesse Love, Riley Herbst and Ryan Sieg all had mechanical issues.
Justin Allgaier won Stage 1 while Cole Custer captured Stage 2.
"It sucks to get that close," said Kvapil. "I thought we had a fast Chevrolet. I'm really fortunate to be in this situation. It seemed like the top [lane] was so dominant. He just got us there in Turn 3."
