Chase Briscoe chases down Christopher Bell for Iowa victory: Chase Briscoe’s been chasing wins all season in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. They proved bitterly elusive — until Saturday’s U.S. Cellular 250 at Iowa Speedway. The driver of the No. 98 Ford Performance Ford shrugged off frustration and instead churned up smoke with a jubilant, long-awaited series of burnouts that preceded his first trip to Victory Lane this season. Briscoe’s sweeping slide job past longtime race leader Christopher Bell — who paced the field for a dominant 235 laps — ensured that the physical, caution-marred race would end in a raucous celebration, not head-shaking and second-guessing.[More](7-27-2019)
#98-Chase Briscoe won the U.S. Cellular 250 NASCAR XFINITY Series race at Iowa Speedway. The win is his 1st win of 2019, 1st XFINITY win at Iowa and 2nd career win.
#20-Bell finished 2nd followed by #23-Nemechek, #9-Gragson, #2-Reddick, #7-Allgaier, #28-Lee, #11-Haley, #8-Smith, and #1-Annett.
Pole winner #20-Bell won both stages and led 235 of the 250 laps, but could not hold the lead after a late race caution gave Briscoe a chance to put on fresh tires during a pit stop.
There were 8 lead changes among 5 drivers and 8 cautions for 58 yellow flag laps.
The average speed of the race was: 88.682mph.
