With three races in the books and three different winners so far, the NASCAR Xfinity Series made the trip to Avondale, Arizona, for the running of the GOVX 200 at Phoenix Raceway. This marked the first race of the season at a conventional race track after a pair of drafting-style races and a road course to begin the 2025 campaign.

An overtime restart where Justin Allgaier and Aric Almirola overdrove Turn 1 gave a ‘Moses effect’ to Alex Bowman to squeeze by. But Almirola would not be denied and charged back inside of Bowman to edge ahead at the line and win the GOVX 200 at Phoenix Raceway in the second closest finish at the 1-mile oval for the NASCAR Xfinity Series.
