NXS: Ryan Truex wins Wawa 250 in overtime at Daytona International Speedway - Speedway Digest

It was tough trying to make it through the first laps of the night, first with Austin Hill who was scheduled to start on the outside pole but had issues prior to rolling for the pace laps.

Hill would join the field just prior to the green flag starting this time at the back barely making it three turns before getting tangled up in a wreck in turn three with Ogata, Clements, Ellis and others all involved.

The remainder of the opening stage of the night would run clean with a couple swaps for the lead between pole sitter Chandler Smith, AJ Allmendinger and Justin Allgaier.

When the stage would come to a close Allgaier would take home the opening stage win of the night over C. Smith, AJ Allmendinger, Creed and Kligerman rounding out the top-five.

Stage two would run mostly clean, swapping the lead between AJ Allmendinger, Truex and Allgaier until the final lap of the stage when Mayer would go for a spin with Alfredo getting into the wall.

Allgaier would take home the second stage win of the night over Herbst, Truex, AJ Allmendinger and Burton.

Passing three-quarters of the distance for the night when a multi car wreck would break out going into turn one with Burton, S. Smith and C. Smith all getting together to start a wreck claiming nine cars in total, ending the night for Custer, DiBenedetto and Retzlaff.

Coming to five to go on the board Alfredo would start slowing heading into turn three just as Alfredo had backed all the way up Bacarella would get into the back of Earnhardt turning him up the track into the path of Clements who was involved in a lap one wreck along with Shane Van Gisbergen, and more.

This would set up NASCAR overtime with Truex leading the field back to green. However, on the white flag lap AJ Allmendinger would get turned by Kligerman going into turn one sending the No 16 up the track hard into the outside wall causing NASCAR to throw the final caution of the night handing the win to Ryan Truex with Chandler Smith finishing in the second spot followed by Kligerman, Herbst, and Ryan Sieg.

““I didn’t really have one to be honest. I couldn’t figure out if I wanted the top or the bottom. I restarted on both lanes and felt like neither of them were great, but I fell back in 2018 – I had the lead, and I took the top and I lost the race, and I didn’t want to do that again, so I figured I would try the opposite of that and go to the bottom.” Said Truex

“Riley gave me a crazy push, so shout out to him. He didn’t wreck me – just straight up pushed me. Once the restart shook out, I was just listening to Tyler (Green, spotter) telling me where to block. AJ I knew he had a run coming to the white. I knew he was going to go for it going into one and I got lucky, and all of those guys hit each other, and the caution came out. Here we are.” Continued Truex
