Motor Speedway.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Salas, 22, edged Ryan Luza by 0.720 seconds to earn his first win of the year. A part-time NASCAR Xfinity Series driver, Salas thanked his team and was grateful to finally get his car over the line first.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n It was his first win since Darlington early in the 2024 season.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n “To put ourselves in the playoffs here and kind of relieve that stress is huge,” Salas said after the race.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n <\/p>\n Salas drove his No. 11 Kanaan Esports Toyota efficiently, as the race became a tire-saving duel by the end. Steven Wilson, who won the previous two races in the series, battled with Luza down the stretch but finished in 29th place, a lap down, as his tires did not hold on.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Kollin Keister instead finished third, with Dylan Duval and Casey Kirwan rounding out the top five.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Salas led the final 93 laps, taking over the front spot about a quarter of the way into the 120-lap race and never relinquishing it.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n “I was driving super, super hard at the end there,” Salas said. “I think Ryan kind of saved his tires a little bit, so he was coming at the end.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n The series continues on July 1 at a virtual Chicago Street Course.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
