Allgaier and Aric Almirola raced for the lead into turn one on the final restart, but Allgaier overdrove his No. 7 into the corner, forcing himself and Almirola up the track. With a path cleared, Alex Bowman shot through to the race lead.

The Xfinity Series will stay west for another weekend as they head to Las Vegas Motor Speedway for ‘The LiUNA!’, a 200-lap 300-mile race. Coverage will air on The CW and PRN on Saturday, Mar. 15 at 4:30 p.m. ET.

Bowman, running in his only scheduled Xfinity Series start of the season for Hendrick Motorsports, bested second place Sheldon Creed by more than a tenth of a second in Saturday's qualifying session. Justin Allgaier, the defending series champion, will start 14th after a so-so lap in qualifying.
