Justin Allgaier Claims Third 2025 Xfinity Win at Nashville, Extends Points Lead

Justin Allgaier secured a dominant victory at the Tennessee Lottery 250 at Nashville Superspeedway, marking his third win of the 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series season and ending a seven-race winless streak. Allgaier led a race-high 101 laps and swept both in-race stages, holding off a strong challenge from his 18-year-old JR Motorsports rookie teammate, Connor Zilisch, during the final laps. This win was particularly meaningful for Allgaier following a disappointing strategic error at Charlotte Motor Speedway, where a late-race decision to stay out on old tires cost him a potential victory. With this performance, Allgaier extended his points lead significantly, positioning himself comfortably to defend his championship. He credited his team's effort and expressed pride in overcoming past setbacks, while Zilisch showed impressive skill in only his second race at the concrete Nashville oval. The No. 7 team of JR Motorsports is gaining momentum heading into the summer, with Allgaier continuing to demonstrate consistent top-five finishes and stage wins.
