The NASCAR Cup Series checkered flag has flown at Talladega Superspeedway.

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

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

“It felt really good, I was hoping Kyle (Larson) wouldn't put so much pressure on the No. 6,” Stenhouse told NBC Sports pit reporters after his winning burnout. “It was a season of ups and downs, I was just trying to find a bit of speed. But we knew this was one of our routes we had to hit.”

During Sunday's race, several playoff drivers ran into trouble. “The Big One” was involved in a 28-car accident, the largest accident in NASCAR Cup Series history. Alex Bowman, Chase Briscoe, Austin Cindric, Chase Elliott, Joey Logano and Tyler Reddick were involved.

Early in the race, Ryan Blaney was hit by Alex Bowman as he reached the finish line of stage two, which ended with the No. 12 Penske Ford sputtering to a stop after an accident with the front right fender destroyed.

Here are the complete results from Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series race at Talladega.
