Who won NASCAR Cup race in Talladega? Winner is Ricky Stenhouse Jr., plus full results

The checkered flag is out for the NASCAR Cup Series at Talladega Superspeedway.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. won Sunday’s YellaWood 500 in the middle race of the Round of 12 in the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs.

Stenhouse beat Brad Keselowski to the line by 0.006 seconds for his first win since winning the 2023 Daytona 500. This is Stenhouse’s fourth career win in his 14th season in the Cup Series.

“It felt really good, I was hoping Kyle (Larson) wouldn’t push the No. 6 that hard,” Stenhouse said to NBC Sports pit reporters after his victory burnout. “It’s been an up and down season, just trying to find a little bit of speed. But we knew that this was one of our tracks to go get.”

Several playoff drivers ran into trouble during Sunday’s race. There was a 28-car wreck for “The Big One,” which was the largest wreck in NASCAR Cup Series history. Alex Bowman, Chase Briscoe, Austin Cindric, Chase Elliott, Joey Logano and Tyler Reddick were caught up in it.

Earlier in the race, Ryan Blaney was hit by Alex Bowman coming to the finish line of stage 2, ending with the No. 12 Penske Ford sputtering to a stop with a destroyed front right fender after a wreck.

Here are the full results of Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Talladega.
