The NASCAR Xfinity Series arrived at Martinsville Speedway, and the drama was through the roof. Aric Almirola won the first two stages but had two playoff drivers behind him in a must-win situation to make the Championship 4. At the end of the day, the veteran driver was able to put together a complete final stint.
Aric Almirola won the 2024 National Debt Relief 250 at Martinsville, earning his third win of the season and clinching the No. 20 car in the Championship 4 for the owner’s title. Sammy Smith was trying to run down Almirola for the race victory, but it wasn’t enough, as the No. 20 car was able to maintain a solid lead.
