The 2023 NASCAR Xfinity Series The Loop 121 is finally done and dusted. The inaugural The Loop 121 was called off by NASCAR and Stewart-Haas Racing driver Cole Custer was declared the winner.
The race took place at Chicago Street Course with a total of 38 drivers and lasted for one hour, two minutes, and 40 seconds.
Driving the #00 Ford Mustang, Cole Custer won the pole in qualifying on Saturday and led all 25 laps of the NASCAR's inaugural Xfinity street course race before lightning strikes in the area caused the governing body to red flag and then to postpone the race on Sunday morning.
On Sunday, with drenching rain and standing water at the street course, NASCAR declared Cole Custer the winner of the race, even though the race wasn’t halfway through yet. The win marked his second of the season and 12th career victory in the Xfinity Series.
Meanwhile, John Hunter Nemechek finished runner-up, followed by Justin Allgaier, Brett Moffitt, and Austin Hill in the top-five. Sammy Smith, Daniel Hemric, Chandler Smith, Parker Kligerman, and Kaz Grala completed the top 10.
