Austin Cindric held off Chase Briscoe in NASCAR Overtime to earn his first Xfinity Series victory of the 2020 season in Thursday night’s Shady Rays 200 at Kentucky Speedway.
A spin by Harrison Burton with five laps remaining set up the overtime restart, which lined up race leader Cindric on the outside, while Briscoe took the inside lane. Briscoe slid through Turns 1 and 2, losing ground and allowing Cindric to sail to the win.
Riley Herbst held on to finish second, stemming third-place finisher Ross Chastain. Five-time 2020 season race winner Briscoe was able to salvage a fourth-place result, while Michael Annett finished fifth to round out the top five.
The triumph serves as Cindric’s first win on an oval after back-to-back wins at road courses Watkins Glen International and Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in 2019.
The race got off to a chaotic start as Jeb Burton lost control of his No. 8 JR Motorsports Chevrolet in Turn 2, collecting Brandon Jones in the process. Jones was forced to retire from the race due to heavy damage on the No. 19 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota.
The Xfinity Series’ next race is Friday night’s Alsco 300 (8 p.m. ET, FS1, PRN, SiriusXM), scheduled right back at the 1.5-mile Kentucky track.
