\"NASCAR<\/a><\/p>\n

Austin Dillon had clear sailing into the night winning the Race for the Cure 300 NASCAR Xfinity race at Charlotte Motor Speedway after frontrunners Kyle Busch and Kasey Kahne tangled with 49 laps to go, taking both out of contention.<\/p>\n

Dillon held off Erik Jones by 2.809 seconds to claim a season sweep at Charlotte after winning in there in May, both ironically from the pole position.\u00a0 \u00a0He raced to his third win of the season and sixth overall in the Xfinity series.<\/p>\n

The most excitement Dillon had in the race actually started before he even got into his race car, having one of the prerace fireworks landing on his backside with sparks still flying, causing him to rush his Tennessee Titan cheerleader girlfriend, Whitney Ward, out of the way to safety.<\/p>\n

“I was actually praying, and the fireworks hit me in the back,” Dillon said.\u00a0 “I didn\u2019t know if it was a sign from God or what.\u00a0 But it got me going right there with a firework in the butt.”<\/p>\n
