Chase Elliott ended his 44-race winless streak by winning a dramatic NASCAR Cup race at his home track in Atlanta, Georgia, with a last-lap pass, becoming the 12th different winner of the 2025 season and securing a playoff spot.
Despite a chaotic race at EchoPark Speedway, Elliott’s No. 9 Chevrolet emerged relatively unscathed, with only a donut on the driver’s door.
Elliott’s inside pass in Turn 1, with help from teammate Alex Bowman, helped him secure the victory, with Brad Keselowski coming in second and Bowman in third.
The action-filled race saw Tyler Reddick finish fourth, Erik Jones fifth, and a top ten completed by Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Zane Smith, Ty Dillon, Chris Buescher, and Carson Hocevar.
The race featured multiple wrecks and cautions, with a major 23-car pileup in the second stage leading to a red flag, but Elliott ultimately prevailed, claiming his 20th career Cup Series win.
