A bold pass by Allmendinger on the final lap led to the Talladega Xfinity win

Austin Hill, who had dominated most of the race, went to block Noah Gregson with four of 113 laps remaining, giving Mayer the opportunity to take the lead.

On the last lap, Allmendinger he appeared to finish behind Mayer, but made another run and cut to Mayer’s right as Mayer tried to block him. He edged Mayer by 0.015 seconds at the finish to earn his first career superspeedway win.

It is his fourth win of the 2022 season and his win automatically sends him into the semi-final round of the playoffs regardless of how he finishes next weekend at Charlotte Roval.

“I still hate it, still hate it,” Allmendinger said of the superspeedway races, “but gosh, we were so close to winning, and I feel like I keep giving them away. I thought I gave it away. I’m still learning what too much advantage is.

“Honestly, everything is appropriate Landon Cassill – he continued to push me. He stuck with me. That’s what’s great about Kaulig Racing when you have teammates like Landon and Daniel (Gemrick). Wherever you go, you know they will go with you. This makes it a little easier.

“I just wanted to win at Superspeedway. I finally got it.”

Mayer finished second, just shy of his first win in the series. Cassil was third, Ryan Sieg fourth and Josh Berry rounded out the top five.

Rounding out the top 10 are Parker Kligerman, Ty Gibbs, Hemrick, Brandon Jones and Gragson.

There is one race left in this round of players. The four lowest-scoring drivers facing elimination next weekend in Charlotte are Hemrick, Jones, Riley Herbst and Jeremy Clements.
