The NASCAR Xfinity Series returns today (Saturday, May 24) with qualifying action at Charlotte Motor Speedway ahead of the BETMGM 300.

This weekend's event marks the 13th round of the 2025 season, but the first in over two weeks, with the Xfinity Series having taken some time off as the Cup and Truck Series hit Kansas and North Wilkesboro.

Last time out, Cup Series star Kyle Larson was victorious at Texas, stepping in as a late Xfinity Series substitute for JR Motorsports' Connor Zilisch after he suffered injuries in a wreck that saw him unable to compete.

Thankfully, Zilisch has now recovered and will be racing at Charlotte Motor Speedway, whilst Larson prepares for an Indy 500 and Coca Cola 600 double, which is probably good news for the rest of the Xfinity Series field.

They will, however, still have to compete against Cup Series stars such as William Byron and Chase Briscoe.

Heading to Charlotte, Justin Allgaier continues to lead the way in the Xfinity standings, with Austin Hill 51 points behind in second. Elsewhere, Sam Mayer, Jesse Love, and Brandon Jones round out the top five.

With that said, let's get into the details you need to know ahead of this afternoon's qualifying action!
