Race recap
Jesse Love converted the pole into a commanding victory at Phoenix Raceway, leading 156 of 200 laps in the No. 2 Chevrolet. Sam Mayer charged from 35th to finish second, while Justin Allgaier completed the podium after starting 13th and leading 18 laps. Corey Day and Sammy Smith rounded out the top five. Love's 75-point haul was the largest of the race, and his 156 laps led dwarfed Allgaier's 18 and Parker Retzlaff's 9. The win marks Love's second of the season in 30 starts.
Love's statistical control was decisive: he started first, led 156 laps, and finished first. No other driver led more than 18 laps. His 75 points were 23 more than runner-up Sam Mayer's 46, and his 156 laps led were more than eight times the next-highest total. That gap in laps led and points underscored a race where Love was never seriously challenged on the stat sheet.
Love's second win of 2026 strengthens his hold on the top spot in the standings, where he now has 2,367 points. With 30 starts and two victories, he remains the driver to beat as the season winds down. The Phoenix performance reinforces his position as a championship favorite.
