Justin Marks scores first NASCAR win at wet and wild Mid-Ohio

LEXINGTON, Ohio — Not even a caution with four laps remaining in Saturday’s Mid-Ohio Challenge could detour road-course expert Justin Marks from scoring his first career NASCAR Xfinity Series victory at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.

Marks, driver of the No. 42 Chip Ganassi Racing Chevrolet, withstood a rain-soaked challenge from Sam Hornish Jr. on the final restart, but Marks showcased his road-racing skills when it counted most and stretched his lead to 3.7 seconds when the checkered flag flew.
