The NASCAR Xfinity Series has produced 11 different winners in 11 races at Road America since its debut there in 2010.
As you’d expect, the winners’ list is an eclectic one. Included on that list are the likes of NASCAR Hall of Fame nominee Carl Edwards (2010) and ex-Formula One driver Nelson Piquet Jr. (2012), as well as Jeremy Clements, who pulled an all-time upset to win in 2017.
A 12th consecutive different winner produced on Saturday (2:30 p.m. ET, NBC) would extend Road America’s streak as the longest active in the Xfinity Series.
But it’s still a far cry from the all-time series record. New Hampshire Motor Speedway produced 23 consecutive different winners between 1990-2009.
