Xfinity Series Race Ends With Incredible Photo Finish

You won't see too many finishes as close as the one we were treated to on Saturday during the NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Texas Motor Speedway.

Seriously, you're not going to believe how close this was.

On the final lap of the Andy’s Frozen Custard 300, JR Motorsports' Sam Mayer got an incredible run out of Turn 2 on the final lap, which allowed him to get his No. 1 Chevrolet past Ryan Sieg's No. 39 Ford Mustang for RSS Racing.

Of course, Sieg wasn't going to go down easy and while Mayer took a higher line through Turns 3 and 4, he went low. This meant the two hit the homestretch neck-and-neck for the final dash to the stripe.

They then battled their way to a photo finish that was about as close as it gets.

That's about as close as you can get, but it was decided that Mayer was the first one to get to the line, giving him his first win of the 2024 season. 

His margin of victory? An unbelievable 0.002 seconds.

"That’s absolutely unreal," Mayer said, per NASCAR's website. "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."

Unfortunately, every close finish has to have a loser and that was Ryan Sieg, who just barely missed out on what would have been his first win in the Xfinity Series after 342 starts.

"Awe, it sucks," Sieg said. "We had a really good car. I just got tight, so tried to change my lines, do everything. I saw him coming, and I did all I could do, and at the end, I was just trying to run him up into the wall to try to win the race. We were so close. This sucks."

Yeah, tough to argue that it sucks for Ryan Sieg, that was the poor guy's third career runner-up finish… but what a fun way to end a race for fans.
