Team Penske star Austin Cindric has won the NASCAR Cup Series' Jack Link’s 500 after an exciting finish at Talladega Superspeedway, denying Kyle Larson, among others.
Despite Cindric not having been inside the top 10 in either stage one or two, he ensured he was the man on top when it mattered most, edging Ryan Preece in the No. 60 RFK Racing Ford to take the black and white checkered flag in a dramatic photo finish.
The likes of Larson and William Byron tried to make their mark and take the race victory for themselves towards the end, but with the way the cars panned out in terms of manufacturer, neither was able to get the push from behind that they needed to get ahead of the Ford front two.
Larson and Byron ultimately came home in third and fourth, with Joey Logano, who had fumed at his team-mate and race-winner Cindric over the radio earlier in the race, finishing in fifth.
