NASCAR Xfinity Series EXTENDED HIGHLIGHTS: Focused Health 250 | 9/7/24 | Motorsports on NBC

Jesse love gr green flags in the air we're racing in [Music] Atlanta it's super speedway racing and at Dayton in Talladega that means they can't lock bumpers here they can and we see the two getting pushed out in front by the 21 of Austin Hill and so the RCR cars separating themselves running first and second the three wide back there a couple more rows as you see the Top Lane instantly has the run on board with the 27 of Jeff Burton in that state water heaters camera you see three wide in front and not very stable you see the back of the car is dancing around they're going to try to get away from the crowd behind them but but you see how it Stacks up that third place car of the 81 of Chandler Smith was out of the gas on Corner entry into three I don't know if the car just didn't drive well but it kind of stacked all guy up and behind all guy gray did a nice job of not getting into him now all guy says you know what you're out of the gas so much I'm going to come to the outside and try to pass you off too he falls back there was a little contact there so the 31 got into the back of the 15 here yeah well the 15 it's like he doesn't know he's there or something or maybe it's car is loose and he had to steer it down there problems with the 39 Ryan SE slow on the front stretch yeah I don't see any damage cor wire came off inside the car talking about electrical wire off inside the car so obviously something he feels he can see from the dash where he can see the issue was running seventh oh that's disappointing for the five cuz the caution come out Cole kuster trying to push silver Creed in front of Jesse love but it's Austin Hill who has the best shove now and Jesse is going to be out front again and the Seven is working with those two cars so a three car line able to push right past the 18 and Sheldon Creed will fall into that fourth spot pretty interesting the the top four cars all chose the outside Lane to try to get that outside Lane going that did not work out well for Chandler Smith he told me this morning I think what I've learned over the course as the seven now coming down all guy's got it rick you take it big run for the seven of all guy he got to the inside of that two we've seen him be very strong running behind the 21 can he complete the pass on his own that's the problem see he did not clear Jesse Love Now Austin Hill's going to try to fill this hole he gets there how far back will the seven gar go will there be an opening will anyone go with the seven of allar right now he's on an island I agree with what Jeff said I think he has proven that he's one of the best cars he's starting to create a gap oh contact little contact there as the seven has to go down the racetrack Jesse love came down as the seven was trying to side drop still trying to clear the two on his own everyone else is scratching their head cuz there's no way their car is going to do that and they're just wondering how the seven pulls it off I think he's going to clear the two right here overdrive the entry and slide up in front of the two just like that clear for the lead side drafted the two and now allar leading in Atlanta yeah that's given some other drivers confidence if allar can make that move and let let's try to make it ourselves Ry her's going to get behind the 21 and trying to push him past the two car look how good the Seven's driving though he's easy keeping one or two car lengths back a second now this should be a run for the 21 can he do something when he gets to the corner with it the two pulls the 98 off the 21 so that takes that momentum away with those two cars I just think the Seven's too fast mhm I mean I think the seven can run the bottom that wide open throttle and remove the opportunity for anyone behind him to get an offensive run see the thing is if Ry herps right now now he's being challenged that's going to take the energy away from that lane who is going to push who down the back straightway wow just like that the 21 I thought the seven couldn't be touched 21 door too he's going to try to side draft him and pull him back into three and four for the final time of stage one and surging on the outside is that seven of Aly they're side by side as they come out of four little contact made and really almost a photo finish Justin Aly grabs the stage one win yeah Sammy Smith in that eight is also pushing that outside Lane and that outside Lane we've seen as the better Lane later in the runs Cole kuster now making it three wide is going to take a lot of energy out of the inside Sheldon Creed in the 18 trying to get to that back bumper of the double zero but now three cars pulling away because earlier he was able to kind of be on the attack mode at the bottom now losing ground to the outside Lane as kuster with a really tight squeeze he just decided he was going to move in there it didn't matter that the 98 of Riley herps was trying to close that Gap but that's what the seven of our guy needed needed it slowed the momentum down on that outside Lane it allowed him to go to the bottom game some that Mo momentum back now he's trying to find a gap if he could get in front of this one car the 20 slides up the hill he's out of line three wide TR X will sneak his way back in hand handcuffed they are just not being able to be aggressive look at the 21 right here he got great forward momentum but he's going to be able to clear in the corner that was an easy move but that move came because the 18 is driving so poorly Sheldon Creed we've seen him with some handling issues and there he tags the wall just a bit now Chandler Smith's going to try to clear him but oh not enough in the 18 once again right up against the wall looking for the cushion two smoke coming out of the one of s May there has been some contact with the wall as the back bumper has completely off and now bursts into flames caution is out yellow's out yellow's out yellow's out this fire right here you have to wonder see some damage on the front as well is there more to this story was it an engine that expired which made him get into the wall did he get into his own oil it's rare that you see that much fire just from hitting the fence on the right side or did it pull an oil line or something off some sort of accelerant Sam quickly gets out of the car so good to see the AMR safety crew there to assist May that was the reason yeah I wondered if it was an engine I just think it had to be some sort of oil or something after contact cuz that's just a wreck on the racetrack yeah just not clear speaking of a little issue on Pit Road just moment ago Steve yeah two tire change and then I'm not sure what happens whether there's a miscommunication but a tire is left in front of the car Creed leaves and rolls the tire away so that's a penalty and then he comes in to put left sides on later and then right here the 21 runs in the back of the 97 like SVG was kind of checking up trying to find his pit box 20 pits outside the box you see the nose just over the line yeah that'll be tail end for the 20 two cars against the field is very difficult almond Dinger gets to the door of the 19 but that's as far as it goes and now he starts to fall back was able to pull right up to the door of Taylor Gray and now he's got the help of the 21 a little bit loose there almost clear didn't quite get it done behind this 21 of Austin Hill is the one laap car down of Ryan SE that car is flying if he could get back in the lead lap but the way this brace is played out I think he can get himself to the front have a chance to win this race definitely the best car I've ever had here so we're we're going to have a lot of fun with this uh the rest of the year and um keep on digging up into the wall and will we get a caution it's SVG sure enough the caution comes out he's going to make the hard left hand turn to get on to Pit Road and that's going to put Ryan SE in the back in the lead lap and I am telling you he has the fastest race car right now and all the fuel conversation about saving under green just got easier all these cars right now you see coasting they're shut off rolling down the backstretch so this caution should get them where they need let's see what happens to the 97 tries to make a move to the outside of Sammy Smith and just lost control of his car yeah I like what he was thinking we've seen the seven do that move get to the outside of the eight and then you have position on quarter exit but either a little bit of dust up there or just loose in general yeah just I mean I like what he I that to me is SVG learning watching the seven watching some other guys and then he put his car in that position now he made a little mistake or the car couldn't handle it but that will go into the notebook two wide for the lead once again at Atlanta it's the focused Health 250 with 31 laps to go almond Dinger aggressively has been to the inside of the double zero of Cole kuster now he gets a shove in the middle of the turn from the 98 that doesn't help him out he starts to drop back Riley herps takes the spot wow that is aggressive racing aldinger had an issue with his car had to check up Riley herps did not get slowed down it has gotten wild these last two laps now the Seven's going to continue to push he knows if he pulls out of line at the wrong time will the 81 make the move oh he'll try will the seven go with him or will it get in line with a double zero oh he stays to his right rear quarter panle slows the 81 down now the seven you said it Steve it's driving the other cars Oh I thought he could have jumped to the outside taking that spot Chandler Smith currently running in second maybe taking the lead here as he got a big shove from the seven to the bottom of the racetrack and Chandler Smith has cleared Co kuster he now has the lead now the seven is in that tough spot shr in front and behind although I think you it's not about needing help it's about having a place to go when you take the Run we haven't talked much about the nine you see the damage that on the right rear corner they had that long Pit Stop to fix it the damage was early the brand not waiting a corner to the bottom of the racetrack he said let me try to go for the lead here oh he almost wrecked and he'll drop all the way back now lost a lot of momentum and there's no place for him to go whoa they're wrecking for the seven he's going to get in the wall they wreck in turn three Co kuster hers Ryan SE all involved as well the 19 of Taylor Gray and the Seven of Aly 39 of SE down the track as well with a ton of damage good he blew a tire we just side drafted and got together we heard the radio somebody said they side drafted and got together remember Sie was just outside the top 12 and such a fast race car here in his home state it's a bumper cover on the wow side of the two little extra down Force here for the two big push coming from the 19 yeah I don't know it's like the seven of oury was trying to stay against the D zero of kuster just side draft him or something contact there I heard somebody say something about a tire down I don't know if Let's Ride [Music] Along I mean the 17 there's a it looks like there's some contact and the 17 goes straight but I can't tell if he's coming up the track because of an handling issue or a tire going down I mean right there right he needs to be turning left and he's going up the racetrack into the 19 into the d0o it's really odd looking that contact right there could that have done something to the right front of the seven yeah it's hard to say and with so much contact it'll be interesting to see what Aly says I wonder you know alar entering the corner that close to kuster did it just pull the air off the car you know did he just get loose right here and now he can't turn it down the backstretch a big push coming from himim to the 81 Josh Williams gets off the back bumper of the 21 well the 21 has a good speed through the middle of the corner will he try to slide up he will right yeah right in front of Chandler Smith and now the cross over Chandler Smith's going to try to take the lead back they lost a lot of momentum though that 21 couldn't have been in front of the 81 by more than three or 4 Ines and the 81's going to fill that Gap now Josh Williams leading that inside line Cher Smith had an opportunity to make a move down the back straightaway a few laps ago he didn't make it does he take it this time he's got the momentum he gets to the back bumper again and stays there oh almost gets the 21 sideways and now here comes Chandler Smith he's to the inside for the lead no help behind him though Cory Heim is going to push the 21 one lap to go presented by Credit One Bank Chandler Smith dropping back now he's going to fight for fourth here comes the 26 on the outside kyheim and he gets sideway ways Parker cerman with a run AJ alinger fresher tires also coming into the picture the last time through three and four the 21 pulling away Austin Hills going to do it again he'll sweep Atlanta four wins at this racetrack [Music] big big
