The 2023 NASCAR Xfinity Series Wawa 250 powered by Coca-Cola is finally done and dusted. The 24th race of the season, with a total of 38 entries, started at 7:30 pm ET on Friday, August 25. It took place at Daytona International Speedway and lasted for two hours, 12 minutes, and 14 seconds.
Driving the #7 Chevrolet Camaro for JR Motorsports, Justin Allgaier won his second race of the 2023 NASCAR Xfinity Series season in an overtime photo finish at the 2.5-mile superspeedway.
Allgaier was one of the five drivers who was penalized after failing multiple pre-qualifying inspections on Thursday. He started from the rear of the field and was forced to serve a pass-through penalty on pit road along with four other cars after the first lap.
Justin Allgaier eventually made his way back up front and grabbed the lead for the first time on lap 85. However, he lost the lead to Trevor Bayne after two laps. He reclaimed it on lap 99 and then survived two overtime restarts, including a close battle with Sheldon Creed to the finish line.
Allgaier took the checkered flag by an impressive 0.005 seconds ahead of Creed to claim his first-ever race on a superspeedway. The victory marked his 21st career win in the NASCAR Xfinity Series.
Meanwhile, Creed scored his second consecutive runner-up finish, followed by Daniel Hemric, Parker Kligerman, and Cole Custer in the top five. Ryan Sieg, Parker Retzlaff, Anthony Alfredo, Gray Gaulding, and Justin Haley completed the top 10.
The Wawa 250 powered by Coca-Cola saw 20 lead changes among nine different drivers and witnessed six caution flags.
