At the Michigan International Speedway, John Hunter Nemechek won for the fifth time this season in the NASCAR XFINITY Series. Above all, he brought Joe Gibbs Racing its two-hundredth success in the NASCAR second division.
Involved in an accident at the very start of the race, John Hunter Nemechek managed to reverse the trend and won the two-hundredth victory for Joe Gibbs Racing in the NASCAR XFINITY Series.
It’s a great team. I have to apologize to Ty. I put him in a bad situation. He is right to be unhappy with me. We’ll have to discuss this with Ty, but it’s clearly me who created this chain reaction.

Under the checkered flag John Hunter Nemechek leads Josh Berry, Brandon Jones, Ty Gibbs, Sam Mayer, Riley Herbst, Ross Chastain, Parker Kligerman, Parker Retzlaff and Jeb Burton for the top 10.
The start of the race was choppy, with numerous crashes in the first segment, including one involving Ty Gibbs, John Hunter Nemechek and Sammy Smith. Only the last named was forced to retire, destroying his Toyota by hitting Carson Hocevar. Ty Gibbs and John Hunter Nemechek were able to return to the top spots following making repairs.
In the course of the second segment, many teams were worried regarding the arrival of the rain, but the race was able to go to its end without the rain coming. If Justin Allgaier seemed to have one of the fastest cars, he took a big green flag in the third segment, with on the one hand a slower stop than usual and a penalty, because several members of his team arrived on location too soon.
Thirteen laps from goal Patrick Emerling hit the wall in turn 4, which led to another neutralization. The majority of the peloton remains on the track, as the teams only had three sets of new tyres. Drivers who pass through the pit lane wear tires already used at the start of the race.
Next week, the second division of NASCAR has an appointment on the road course of theIndianapolis Motor Speedway.
