CONCORD, North Carolina — Alex Bowman celebrated his first career Xfinity win, while Sam Hornish Jr. placed second in just his fifth series start of the season.
Ryan Blaney, who won at Charlotte in May, finished third. He was followed by Austin Dillon and Brennan Poole, the highest-finishing playoff driver.
Bowman’s win was his first in 51 career starts. This was the first of two races he’ll drive for Chip Ganassi Racing in the Xfinity Series before taking over Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s No. 88 Cup ride next year at Hendrick Motorsports. Bowman will be back with the No. 42 Ganassi car at Phoenix in November.
