The race ran 104 laps and featured seven cautions after a caution-free opener at Charlotte two weeks ago, ending the series caution-free streak at 193 consecutive laps. Wilson, running for Spire Motorsports, spent most of the night working through traffic before breaking into the top 10 with 36 laps to go. He led his first lap with 19 remaining and ultimately took control on Lap 92, surviving an eNASCAR Overtime restart to hold on for the win.
Daniel Faulkingham of Rick Ware Racing finished second, just 0.078 seconds behind Wilson. Connor Yeroschak of Letarte Esports was third, Malik Ray of JR Motorsports fourth, and Zack Novak, also JR Motorsports, rounded out the top five. Race 1 winner Bobby Zalenski was caught up in an incident on Lap 33 and finished 22nd.
The win is Wilson’s third at EchoPark specifically, making him the most-winning driver at the track in series history. His previous win here came in 2023 by a margin of 0.015 seconds. After crossing the finish line, Wilson performed a small bow in tribute to NASCAR legend Kyle Busch, who passed away less than two weeks prior at age 41. Spire Motorsports, Wilson’s team, had carried tribute decals for Busch on their cars Tuesday night.
In the Playoff Standings, Wilson leads with 74 points and has clinched a Playoff spot with his win. Zalenski sits second in Playoff points at 55 despite his rough night. Spire Motorsports leads the Team Standings by five points over JR Motorsports after the double top-five result from Ray and Novak. Race 3 has been moved from Iowa Speedway to the new Qualcomm Circuit at Naval Base Coronado in San Diego, where it will run on June 16.
