Like the Sprint Cup, NASCAR's second-tier Xfinity Series has had many close finishes since electronic scoring was implemented in 1993. The current record for closest finish was set on July 7, 1996 during the Sears Auto Club 250 at the Milwaukee Mile, when Buckshot Jones defeated Mike McLaughlin by only 2 thousandths of a second. The record was tied on April 24, 1999 when Terry Labonte beat Joe Nemechek to the line at Talladega Superspeedway during the Touchstone Energy 300.
