A late restart was all Ryan Blaney needed to clear Kevin Harvick and speed to victory in an action-packed Hisense 4K TV 300 on Saturday at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Blaney led a race-high 107 of 200 laps and joined his father, Dave – who won in 2006 – as the first father-son duo to win NASCAR XFINITY Series races at Charlotte, and the sixth combination to win XFINITY Series races.

KEVIN HARVICK – No. 41 Hunt Brothers Pizza Ford Mustang – HOW DID YOU VIEW THE LAST RESTART? “It was a tough decision for our Hunt Brothers Ford team. I knew that we had the 22 behind us if we were on the top and he pushed me a little bit and then kind of laid off there getting into one. The 12 had the best car on the restart getting going. He’s the one who helped us get the lead and I knew I was gonna have my hands full, but he just beat me there at the end and we wound up getting second.”

Bubba Wallace, driver of the No. 6 Globe Life Ford Mustang, ran up front throughout the NASCAR XFINITY Series event at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Saturday afternoon, leading a handful of laps, before a cut-tire from contact with the outside retaining wall sent the Roush Fenway Racing Ford sideways in the closing laps. Wallace ultimately finished 28th.
