(NEXSTAR) – Saturday was a day of dominance for Brandon Jones of Joe Gibbs Racing, who took the #20 car from pole position all the way to victory lane at the Kansas Lottery 300.

A clean first stage saw a lot of cars choosing the lower line at Kansas Speedway. Justin Allgaier took the lead from Brandon Jones to take a stage one victory.

Jeff Burton spun out at the start of stage two, bringing out the caution flag. Coming out of pit road, season champion Connor Zilisch took the lead, but ultimately Allgaier took the second stage victory as well, with Brandon Jones in second.

In stage three with 38 laps to go, Nick Sanchez drifted up the track out of turn two and made contact with Justin Bonsignore, sending him into the inside wall.

On the restart, several playoff drivers including Zilisch and Jones went to pit, while Allgaier stayed out hoping to keep track position.

Ultimately it was Jones and Zilisch fighting for first place, with Jones taking the checkered flag.

Jones remained humble in victory lane, reminding that the victory was not his alone.

“This takes a lot of helping hands involved, it’s not just me,” Jones said. “So many hands touch this race car, so when it comes together like today and you have such a successful event like we did, it’s huge.”

This win sees Jones punching his ticket for the Round of 8, while several other drivers will continue to battle it out at the final Round of 12 race at Charlotte Motor Speedway next week.

You can catch that race on The CW Saturday, Oct. 4 at 5 p.m. ET.
