Relief Driver Kligerman Wins Daytona Xfinity for Injured Zilisch

In the NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Daytona International Speedway, Parker Kligerman stepped in as a relief driver for Connor Zilisch, who started the race but relinquished the car early due to a broken collarbone. Although Kligerman drove the car to victory, NASCAR rules credit the win to Zilisch as the starting driver, marking Zilisch's seventh win of the season. Kligerman's performance was praised as flawless, leading the race from the back to the front and ultimately sealing the victory in an overtime finish under caution following a last-lap crash. The race featured a dominant 1-2-3 finish for JR Motorsports, with teammates Sammy Smith and Justin Allgaier finishing second and third, respectively. Inclement weather and multiple crashes added to the race's drama, including an 11-car crash that pushed the event into overtime. Despite not officially being credited with the win, Kligerman celebrated the achievement as a personal milestone and a redemption after a previous disqualification earlier in the season.
