Ricky Stenhouse Jr. made the winning pass after the race’s final restart and went on to win the NASCAR Xfinity (Nationwide) Series O’Reilly Auto Parts 300 at Texas Motor Speedway. Stenhouse held off Paul Menard to score the victory and give Roush Fenway Racing its fourth straight win at TMS. The race was slowed by five cautions for 33 laps, one caused when a bank of lights went out inside Turn 3. The problem arose again later in the race causing a five-minute red flag while track officials made repairs.
