A dramatic Overtime finish at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Saturday, March 22nd, 2025, set the stage for Justin Allgaier to sweep his second straight Xfinity Series race. The defending division champion proved that he’s still got it in 2025, putting the No. 7 NASCAR Chevy out front when it mattered most – and foiling Kyle Larson’s attempt at going three-for-three this weekend while he was at it.
Larson, driving the No. 17 Chevy, looked like he was going to answer his Truck Series win on Friday with another victory in the Xfinity Series. He led 132 of the event’s 201 laps and gapped the field by 15 seconds when a caution waved with eight laps to go, neutralizing his advantage. Larson chose the bottom lane for the restart, taking the green alongside Sam Mayer’s No. 41 Ford Mustang Dark Horse. However, the two made contact, breaking both cars loose and allowing several competitors to get by.
Those were the No. 21 NASCAR Chevy of Austin Hill and the No. 7 Chevy of Allgaier. Hill initially had the advantage, but Allgaier stuck to him like glue. Allgaier bided his time and completed the pass just in the nick of time, cruising to his second win in as many races after his victory at Las Vegas last weekend.
“Just a testament to this team,” Allgaier said, having secured his first career top-five finish at Homestead along with the win. “Honestly, it was looking like it was one those days that wasn’t our day. We got behind but were able to persevere and to get this Chevrolet to Victory Lane is special.”
He acknowledged Larson’s misfortune, saying, “I was actually bummed to see the caution flag come out but it worked out in my favorite.” Allgaier added. “I’m bummed I maybe got the [weekend] triple from Kyle [Larson] because I think he’s going to have a great shot at [winning] it tomorrow. But we were at the right place at the right time and I’m really proud of this race team.”
Larson was obviously disappointed, saying, “I’ve lived through it a number of times here, obviously a bummer to have another Homestead race play out that way.”
Mayer finished second, followed by Hill, Larson, and the No. 00 Mustang of Sheldon Creed rounding out the top five.
