Sammy Smith was the surprise winner at Rockingham after Jesse Love's car failed tech inspection
(ROCKINGHAM, NC – APRIL 20, 2025 – RIS) Hours after the checkered flag, victory burnouts and the post-race celebrations, the results of Saturday’s NASCAR Xfinity Series North Carolina Education Lottery 250 presented by Black's Tire got turned upside down. The Jesse Love-driven winning car failed to get through tech inspection when it was deemed to have violated NASCAR’S Rule 14.14.2.I-5.h which covers trailing arm spacers and pinion angle shims. This gave the win to Sammy Smith.
ROCKINGHAM, NC – RIS -As the NASCAR Xfinity Racs came down to a finish, any number of drivers could win, but the question was who would win? It was difficult to determine. As it turned out, Jesse Love won, but it was an exciting climax until the caution flew that determined who that would be.
Jesse Love went from third to first on the overtime restart to win Saturday's NASCAR Xfinity race at Rockingham Speedway, the first Xfinity race at the historic track since 2004.
Love led 53 laps and stretched his fuel over the final 96 laps to collect his second win of the season and third career Xfinity win. He did so before a sellout crowd at Rockingham. Sammy Smith, who lost the lead to Love on the overtime restart, finished a season-best second. Smith collected the $100,000 bonus for winning the Xfinity Dash 4 Cash.

Nick Sanchez won Stage1 and Dean Thompson won Stage 2
As the race moved on to its conclusion, fuel was the issue for several drivers. Love last pitted with 90 laps to go, in the final 60 laps after the 11th caution, Love was chasing Ryan Sieg, who pitted 10 laps before him, and hanging back knowing that his No. 10 Richard Childress Racing car had a higher chance of making it to the end. For the fifth time this year, the end of the race came out of regulation with a green-white-checkered finish.
With 18 laps remaining, Love was setting up Sieg to pass him on the inside when Daniel Dye went around collecting Kasey Kahne. This was the second spin that caught Kasey Kahne in his NASCAR return after being retired from the sport for eight years. William Sawillich collected the retired driver along with Katherine Legge in her first Xfinity Series start of the year, to bring out the first yellow of the race back in stage one.
