For the third straight year Austin Hill won the NASCAR Xfinity Series United Rentals 300 race at Daytona International Speedway Monday night.
It was the seventh career win for Hill, driver of the Richard Childress Racing No. 21 Chevrolet Camaro. Hill had been involved in a crash earlier in the race and had to come from the back of the field several times because of trouble on pit road.
After the ninth caution with three laps to go Chandler Smith jumped ahead of Jordan Anderson and into the lead.
Anderson regained the lead on the same lap then Hill past Anderson with two laps to go and held on the rest of the way even after another another crash happened near the back of the field on the final lap. The caution flag never came out after that crash.
The race was moved from Sunday to Monday night due to inclement weather and took place after the Daytona 500.
