For the fifth time in seven NASCAR Xfinity Series starts at the reconfigured Atlanta Motor Speedway, Austin Hill found a way to victory lane.
Hill led 146 of the race’s 163 leads en route to his 11th career Xfinity Series victory.
Hill had to wrestle the lead back from defending series champion Justin Allgaier with two laps to go, but it was Aric Almirola who posed the final challenge of the night, drawing even with Hill at the white flag.
However, Hill was able to clear Almirola in turn 2, and as the field flew apart on the backstretch, Hill pulled away as Allgaier and Almirola banged doors for second.
The victory locks Hill into the 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series playoffs, with HIll joining his Richard Childress Racing teammate in Jesse Love on the Xfinity Series winners list in 2025.
Allgaier, Almirola, Sammy Smith and Nick Sanchez rounded out the top five, with Jeb Burton, Daniel Dye, Leland Honeyman, William Sawalich and Harrison Burton completing the top 10.
Other notable finishers include Sheldon Creed in 15th, Love in 16th, Ryan Sieg in 20th, Parker Retzlaff in 27th and Sam Mayer in 36th.
The Xfinity Series will travel to Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, next week for the third race of the 2025 season. The Focused Health 250 will go green shortly after 2:30 p.m. ET on March 1, with coverage on the CW, PRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
