Xfinity NASCAR Chevy Wins Texas 2024 By Literal Inches: Video

Sam Mayer’s No. 1 NASCAR Chevy Camaro SS had quite a bit of ground to make up on the way to the checkers during the Xfinity Series race at Texas on April 13th, 2024. And make it up he did, making the pass for the victory right at the line, winning by a margin of just 0.002 seconds.

Mayer crossed the stripes in a dead heat with Ryan Sieg’s No. 39 Ford Mustang Dark Horse. On the last lap, the two banged doors several times as Mayer mounted a charge from over eight car lengths back, costing Sieg precious time and allowing Mayer to get the (slight) advantage on the outside.

“That’s absolutely unreal,” NASCAR Chevy driver Mayer said after the race. “This team, the amount of adversity we’ve had to fight this entire year so far, and to come to a mile-and-a-half that I want to say I’m good at, but it took a lot. It took every ounce of me for me to do that today.”

The race marked the closest finish in the Xfinity Series at Texas and was the second-closest finish in the division overall.

Justin Allgaier, driver of the No. 7 NASCAR Chevy, had a different view of the epic finish, bringing his race car home third after leading for most of the race. AJ Allmendinger finished fourth in the No. 16 Camaro, while Cole Custer rounded out the top five in the No. 00 Mustang.
