Jesse Love’s visible frustration showed after a dominant run fell short at Phoenix Raceway. The defending NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series champion, clearly disappointed, led most of the GOVX 200 but finished second to Justin Allgaier after a tense late-race duel.

Justin Allgaier’s poorly timed block near the end of the second stage of the Daytona 500 took out a host of cars at the front of the field. Allgaier was leading with less than 10 laps to go before the stage concluded when Denny Hamlin got a push from Ryan Blaney at the front of the outside line entering the tri-oval.

JR Motorsports’ driver Justin Allgaier pushed forward when it mattered most, his No. 7 Chevrolet leading only the last 11 laps of Saturday night’s GOVX 200 at Phoenix Raceway to claim his third win at the one-mile oval and take over the championship lead in NASCAR’s O’Reilly Auto Parts Series.
