Las Vegas Motor Speedway

Jordan Traas delivered when it mattered most, capturing the ATC Xfinity Series championship with a commanding victory at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in the season finale. Starting from third position, Traas methodically advanced through the field to overtake pole-sitter Ulrich Wolfgang Von Gradwitz and second-place starter Mitchell Williams, ultimately crossing the finish line with a clean sheet to earn the hard charger award with his two-position improvement. The #79 machine's flawless 90-lap performance, recording zero incidents while navigating the 1.5-mile tri-oval, proved decisive in securing both the race win and the title.

Ulrich Wolfgang Von Gradwitz looked poised for victory after earning the pole position, but the #91 driver couldn't maintain his early advantage despite running incident-free throughout the 90-lap distance. Von Gradwitz settled for second place, collecting 37 points while Traas's championship rival Mitchell Williams rounded out the podium in third. Williams, who entered the finale trailing by just eight points, managed to keep his title hopes alive through the majority of the race but ultimately fell short, finishing 14 points behind Traas in the final standings despite recording 35 points with his podium finish.

The race ran relatively clean with just one caution period consuming three laps, allowing five drivers including race winner Traas to complete the contest without incident. Justin Frazier maintained his fourth starting position to finish fourth, while Dan Smith held steady in fifth throughout the proceedings. The day's biggest disappointment came from Sean Timothy, who plummeted three positions from his eighth starting spot to finish eleventh after accumulating four incidents during the 90-lap contest.

With his 41-point haul from the Las Vegas victory, Traas extended his championship margin to 14 points over Williams, clinching his first ATC Xfinity Series title with 530 points. The triumph marked Traas's ability to perform under pressure, as he entered the finale with just an eight-point advantage but delivered the perfect combination of speed and consistency when the championship hung in the balance. Williams's championship runner-up finish at 516 points represents a strong season, but ultimately couldn't match Traas's clutch performance when the title was on the line.
