1. Twenty-five-year-old John Hunter Nemechek, of Mooresville reportedly led 198 of 250 laps to win Saturday night’s Call811.com Before You Dig 250 and earned his second NASCAR Xfinity Series victory of the season. According to Sports Illustrated, "Nemechek took the lead for good on a race restart with 32 laps remaining after winning the first two stages of the race. He, Smith and third place finisher Cole Custer were easily the class of the field all night running some version of 1-2-3 for most of the race. As Nemechek took his No. 20 JGR Toyota to the front stretch to do a traditional burnout celebration, he literally set the track on fire briefly perhaps a fitting finale to his hot night behind the wheel. Not only did he win the race, he won the $100,000 Dash 4 Cash incentive prize awarded by series sponsor Xfinity." (Sports Illustrated)
