The final 100 laps of the 256-lap event had nine cautions and the race ended with Sammy Smith knocking Taylor Gray out of the lead in Turn 3 on the final lap and triggering a multi-car crash as the field raced to the finish.

The NASCAR Xfinity Series is on a short track for the first time in 2025 with Saturday's US Marine Corps 250 at Martinsville Speedway. Last week, Kyle Larson's dominant day at Homestead was stymied by a late-race restart and an aggressive move by eventual race winner Justin Allgaier.

After getting wrecked out of the event, an unimpressed Christian Eckes described 2025 as "the year from hell" for him. As for Sam Mayer, who initiated the wreck that eliminated him from the event, Eckes said of Mayer: "He's not gonna change anything."
