Sam Mayer: Third at COTA
Mayer finished third in the Focused Health 250 NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Circuit of The Americas on Saturday afternoon.
Analysis:
The young driver of the No. 41 Ford put his road racing skills on display Saturday in Austin. Mayer came from eighth on the starting grid to crack the Top 5 by the end of stage 1. Mayer would have no trouble racing back inside the Top 5 late after fading back after stage 2 pit stops. He would hold off the hard-charging Austin Hill in the final green-flag laps to secure a strong third-place finish at Circuit of the Americas.
