The 2024 NASCAR Xfinity Series season has come to an end, and one driver has finally earned his first title. On Saturday night, JR Motorsports driver Justin Allgaier won the 2024 Xfinity Series championship at Phoenix Raceway. Meanwhile, Riley Herbst won the Xfinity Series event, sending Stewart-Haas Racing off with one final victory.
Allgaier has been in the Xfinity Series for 14 years, and the move on the first NASCAR overtime restart was the best of his career.

The move gave Allgaier an Xfinity Series title, even after one more restart.
