Josh Berry won the NASCAR Xfinity Series’ Alsco Uniforms 300 at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Saturday, May 28.
Berry had a brief battle with JR Motorsports teammate Justin Allgaier for the lead until Allgaier cut a tire and had to pit with about 14 laps left. From then on it was smooth sailing for the No. 8 car, winning by 18 seconds over Ty Gibbs.
Sam Mayer, Noah Gragson and Ryan Preece rounded out the top five.
Daniel Hemric, Allgaier, Sheldon Creed, Trevor Bayne and Myatt Snider completed the top 10.
Stage one featured multiple lead changes between the JR Motorsports drivers and Preece. It also saw several cautions, mostly for slides and spins from Brandon Jones, Brandon Brown and Timmy Hill. Hill ended up going to the garage after starting the race up front.
Near the end of the first stage, Jeffrey Earnhardt, Kyle Weatherman and Snider all were caught up in a crash. The No. 26 of Earnhardt suffered the most damage after he hit the outside wall, ending his day early.

Berry won stage one, but one of his JRM teammates, Gragson, encountered problems. Gragson reported during the opening stage that it felt like his No. 9 was losing a cylinder. The team worked on it during the stage break.
Another car also had issues during that caution: the No. 10 of Landon Cassill, who eventually went to the garage for a possible fuel pump problem.
Stage two was relatively calm, save for a caution for Jeb Burton sliding around. Jones also skidded but saved it, while Austin Hill slowed a bit near the end of the stage when he felt that a tire was going down.
At the front, JRM earned its 10th straight stage win, this time with Allgaier.
Later in stage three, a big wreck occurred when Austin Dillon cut a tire after some contact with Jones. His No. 48 slowed down and those behind couldn’t get checked up in time…
