Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. has captured the victory in Sunday’s YellaWood 500 at Talladega Superspeedway, beating out Brad Keselowski and William Byron in a three-wide photo finish.
Stenhouse grabbed his fourth NASCAR Cup Series win in a record-breaking 13th NASCAR Overtime of 2024, picking up his first win for JTG Daugherty Racing since the 2023 Daytona 500 in February of last season.
In the final lap, it was a side-by-side duel between Stenhouse and Keselowski, but the Hendrick Motorsports teammates behind them were the real factors, with Byron pushing the No. 47 on the outside, and Larson pushing the No. 6 on the inside.
Erik Jones rounded out the top-five for LEGACY MOTOR CLUB.
While 0.006 seconds may seem like a close finish in the NASCAR Cup Series, and it definitely is, but it’s the third-closest finish this season alone, coming in behind Kansas Speedway in May and Atlanta Motor Speedway in February.
