Race Results: 2025 NXS Blue Cross NC 250 at the Charlotte ROVAL

Connor Zilisch is heading back to Victory Lane in the NASCAR Xfinity Series after dominating Saturday’s Blue Cross NC 250 at the Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL. It’s the 11th career victory for Zilisch, and his 10th of the season.

Zilisch paced the field in his No. 88 WeatherTech Chevrolet for a whopping 61 of 68 laps, including the final 26 laps around the 2.28-mile purpose-built road course in Concord, North Carolina. The victory also earns him 5 Playoff Points and secures him a spot in the Round of 8 (despite having already locked into the round via his points position heading into the race).

Austin Green, piloting a fourth entry for Jordan Anderson Racing, finished in the runner-up spot, a career-best for the son of 1994 NASCAR Xfinity Series champion David Green. Sammy Smith finished in the third position, making a last-ditch effort to lock himself into the semi-final round of the post-season.

Kaz Grala brought home a fourth-place finish in the No. 24 Toyota GR Supra for Sam Hunt Racing, while Connor Mosack, a part-time driver in the No. 9 Chevrolet for JR Motorsports, rounded out the top five.

Jeb Burton recorded a solid sixth-place result on the afternoon, while William Sawalich, Justin Allgaier, Nick Sanchez, and Christian Eckes rounded out the top-10. The drivers who were still in post-season contention but finished outside the top-10 include Sheldon Creed (11th), Jesse Love (12th), Taylor Gray (13th), Carson Kvapil (15th), Brandon Jones (18th), Sam Mayer (19th), Austin Hill (28th), and Harrison Burton (30th).

With Saturday being the third event in the ‘Round of 12’ in the NASCAR Xfinity Series Playoffs, four drivers were eliminated from postseason contention: Harrison Burton and AM Racing, Austin Hill and Richard Childress Racing, Taylor Gray and Joe Gibbs Racing, and Nick Sanchez and Big Machine Racing.

Jesse Love, Sheldon Creed, Sam Mayer, Justin Allgaier, Connor Zilisch, Brandon Jones, Sammy Smith, and Carson Kvapil will be the eight drivers that compete for a spot in the 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series Championship 4 over the next three events at Las Vegas, Talladega, and Martinsville.,

The NASCAR Xfinity Series will tackle the 1.5-mile facility of Las Vegas Motor Speedway next weekend, with the second-tier series running on Saturday, October 11, on The CW, Performance Racing Network, and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio Channel 90.
