Recently, the NASCAR Xfinity Series race in Atlanta concluded with Justin Allgaier as the winner. While Allgaier gained 57 points from this win, Austin continued to lead the championship standings. He is currently on 277 points, with a 46-point lead over Daniel Hemric.

Speaking of Hemric, his dramatic pit lane incident probably cost him a good finish. Although he finished in ninth place, he did just enough to stay in second place in the championship. Meanwhile, Harrison Burton lies third on 212 points, 19 points away from Hemric.
