Austin Cindric dominated Saturday's Kansas Lottery 250, leading more than half the race.  He was in position to claim his fourth straight victory when Brandon Jones snatched it away from him on the final lap.  His second-place finish was enough to allow him to take the points lead.  The margin is only four points over Chase Briscoe, who was in the hunt until he hit the wall on the final restart and finished 14th.  Noah Gragson finished 15th and held onto third.  He is just four points ahead of Ross Chastain, who finished fifth.

Justin Haley is in fifth after finishing fifth, while Harrison Burton moved up one place to sixth after finishing third.  Justin Allgaier is back down to seventh after finishing 10th.  Michael Annett remains in eighth after finishing eighth.

Jones' somewhat unexpected victory didn't gain him any spots in the standings, but he did gain some points on everyone else.  Riley Herbst remains in 10th after finishing ninth.  Ryan Sieg finished fourth to hold onto 11th.  Brandon Brown is still in 12th, last of the drivers in the playoffs.

Brown is 32 points ahead of Jeremy Clements.  Clements finished 12th Saturday, but didn't gain any ground.  Daniel Hemric gained three places to move back up to 14th after earning a top 10 finish.  Myatt Snider dropped a place to 15th after finishing 22nd.  Meanwhile, Alex Labbe and Jesse Little are now tied for 16th.  Labbe finished 21st, while Little was eliminated in an early crash following contact with Joe Graf Jr. that he's not very happy about.
