Brandon Jones had a strong run Thursday night in ARCA's return to Charlotte and the XFINITY Series regular landed in victory lane becoming the first non-ARCA regular to win this season. Jones held off Joe Gibbs Racing's Riley Herbst to secure his third straight victory in three starts. The second place finish was Herbst's first of the season.
"We gave it all we had…battling for the win," said Jones. "Every driver out there was putting it all on the line. This is just incredible. I've been to Charlotte so many times but never been down in that winner's circle. We came to win it, and that's what we did."
Sheldon Creed had another strong race but had to settle for a third-place finish. Todd Gilliland and points leader Zane Smith rounded out the top five.
