Sammy Smith: Awarded Rockingham Win

Jesse Love was disqualified and Smith was named the winner of the North Carolina Education Lottery 250 NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Rockingham Speedway on Saturday afternoon.

Analysis:

Love had taken over the lead late and had apparently won in NASCAR's return to Rockingham Speedway. However, the No. 2 Chevrolet failed post-race inspection regarding the rear suspension and Smith was awarded the victory. Smith had led late and battled for the win, crossing the finish line second to Love. It was Smith's first win of the 2025 season.
