Austin Hill wins wild crash-filled NASCAR Xfinity race at Ta...

Saturday's NASCAR Xfinity race at Talladega Superspeedway had everything. There was nonstop action, several major crashes, fuel-mileage, an overtime finish, but a familiar name waving the checkered flag.

Superspeedway ace Austin Hill did it again, wining the race despite worries about running out of fuel. While his title hopes ended last round, the victory will lock his car into the Championship 4, giving the No. 21 Richard Childress Racing team a shot at the big trophy.

"Honestly, I wasn't that nervous, as soon as my crew chief said we should have at least 2.5 gallons," said Hill in Victory Lane. "I knew I was saving fuel while leading. We slowed the pace down a lot leading the pack, and nobody was really making a move ... I thought that we were gonna be close, but I thought we were gonna make it. I started having some fuel pressure issues, dropped to the apron, and it immediately came back up.

"...With how the last half of my season has went, with everything that's went on, and getting knocked out of the playoffs. I knew I was still in the owner's championship. That's one thing I want to do for that man right there, Richard Childress. If I can't get the driver's, we at least gotta get the owner's. So special -- always fun to be on these superspeedways."

This is Hill's 14th career win and his fourth of the 2025 season -- which includes a Talladega sweep. Carson Kvapil finished second, Justin Allgaier third, Christian Eckes fourth, and Caesar Bacarella earned a career-best finish in fifth.

Blaine Perkins, Parker Retzlaff, Leland Honeyman, Sammy Smith, and Jesse Love completed the Talladega top 10 at the finish line.

Stage 1

The race was action-packed from the very start. The field fanned out three-wide and the RCR drivers quickly seized control.

About 15 laps into the race, a 12-car wreck broke out on the frontstretch. Jeb Burton shot up the track after a close moment with Sheldon Creed, making contact with Brandon Jones. Jones' car slid down the track, hooking Creed back through the field and into the outside wall. It was a huge hit for both Creed and Ryan Sieg, but all drivers were checked and released from the infield care center.

The wreck resulted in a 16-minute red flag to repair the wall. The rest of the stage was clean, and it was Hill taking the Stage 1 win with Allgaier, Love, Connor Zilisch, and Aric Almirola in tow.

The second stage was much of the same three-wide racing, but things stayed clean for most of the stage. Unfortunately, that changed with just a few laps to go as some contact in the back of pack led to a six-car wreck.

Leland Honeyman got turned down the track, hitting Zilisch and ending the rookie's incredible streak of 18 consecutive top five finishes. Connor Mosack spun up the track, where he was hit hard by both Dean Thompson and William Sawalich.

While awake and alert, Sawalich was transported to a local hospital for further evaluation.

Stage 2 ended in a shootout, but it was Hill once again claiming victory ahead of Allgaier, Kvapil, Eckes, and Nick Sanchez.
