Kaulig Racing’s Ross Chastain finished in third-place, with Harrison Burton and Noah Gragson rounding out the top-five finishers in Saturday Afternoon’s Virginia is for Racing Lovers 250.
Austin Cindric – who brought his No. 22 PPG Ford Mustang home in the 10th position — extended his point lead to 71 markers over Chase Briscoe — who finished a disappointing 16th — clinching the regular season championship for the Team Penske driver.
The race featured five caution flags for a total of 29 laps, including a late-race caution involving Brandon Brown and Riley Herbst, which triggered the final restart of the event with 12 laps to go.
