NASCAR Xfinity Series opener ends with Sam Mayer going from the lead to upside down in wild crash

The NASCAR Xfinity Series season opener ended with sparks flying, a car upside down and a video review.

In the final lap of the Beef 300, 19-year-old Sam Mayer seemed to have an opening for his first career Xfinity win after Justin Allgaier left a huge gap behind him at the white flag. Mayer, Allgaier's teammate, passed him on the outside and briefly took the lead, but he didn't have enough room to get back to the middle.

Some contact with the nose of Austin Hill's car led to Mayer spinning out and rolling over (video above).
