Speaking to the media about his maiden NASCAR Xfinity Series win after the race, Mayer said:
“It was just about getting track position. We got it there at the end, I lost it for a second and then all hell broke loose there at the end, and we ended up on top. This team, it’s so special to get that first win, that monkey off your back. It feels so good.”
While Parker Kligerman finished runner-up, followed by Austin Hill, Sage Karam, and Riley Herbst rounded out the top five. Josh Berry, Kaz Grala, Josh Bilicki, AJ Allmendinger, and Brandon Jones completed the top 10.
