Brandon Jones Wins Kansas Xfinity Race Secures Round of 8 Spot

Brandon Jones secured a dominant victory at the Kansas Lottery 300, marking his seventh NASCAR Xfinity Series win and punching his ticket to the Round of 8. Starting from the pole, Jones executed a nearly flawless race, showcasing strong long-run speed and pulling away decisively on the final restart to finish nearly three seconds ahead of Connor Zilisch. Zilisch, despite finishing second, set a NASCAR record with his 16th consecutive top-five finish, while Justin Allgaier, who won the first two stages, suffered a costly pit road mistake that dropped him out of contention. The race featured intense competition among playoff drivers, with the top eight finishing in the playoff positions, including Austin Hill, Sammy Smith, and Sheldon Creed. Jones praised his team’s execution and effort throughout the week, calling it the most well-executed race of his career. With this win, Jones not only solidifies his playoff position but also looks ahead to the upcoming races with confidence in his championship pursuit.
