Denny Hamlin and Larson have dominated the Cup Series recently, each winning two of the last four races. Hamlin grabbed back-to-back victories at Martinsville Speedway and Darlington Raceway, while Larson triumphed at Homestead-Miami Speedway and Bristol Motor Speedway.

Coming into Talladega, Chevrolet’s Byron led the Cup Series standings, holding a 30-point lead over Toyota driver Denny Hamlin and a 41-point advantage over third-place Christopher Bell, also driving a Toyota.

Following the race, Kyle Larson climbed two spots to second place in the standings, now 32 points behind leader Byron, who held firm with a fourth-place finish Sunday. Bell slipped two positions, while race winner Cindric jumped seven spots to No. 15.

The race was packed with drama: Bell crashed out, several drivers were penalized for speeding on pit road, Joey Logano cursed out his teammate Cindric, and a chaotic scene unfolded when Josh Berry sideswiped a member of Carson Hocevar’s crew.

The action will resume next Sunday at the Würth 400 presented by LIQUI MOLY at the Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth.

He now sits 30 points behind leader William Byron. Christopher Bell, who finished eighth, dropped to third—11 points behind Hamlin. Larson climbed two spots to fourth, just one point back of Bell.

Larson dominated Sunday’s race, leading an impressive 411 laps. He clocked his fastest lap at 15.39 seconds on lap 85 and took the lead on lap 40 under green flag conditions after starting in third.

Larson’s dominant showing pushed him into the top 10 for most career laps led at Bristol. After leading most of the way, he briefly gave up the top spot following a pit stop on lap 389, allowing Ryan Blaney to take the lead. But Larson reclaimed it on lap 433 and held firm the rest of the way.  

The NASCAR Cup Series returns April 27 at the Jack Link’s 500 at Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama.

NASCAR Cup Series Goodyear 400

Denny Hamlin emerged victorious in the Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway on Sunday.

After a stretch of 19 consecutive races without a finish on top of the podium, Hamlin has now won two straight NASCAR Cup Series races after winning the Cook Out 400 at Martinsville Speedway on March 30.

Hamlin secured his latest win in overtime.

Ryan Blaney was leading with three laps to go before a spin by Kyle Larson off the front bumper of Bubba Wallace caused the caution flag to fly. Hamlin won the race off of pit road and eventually earned the win.

William Byron finished at No. 2 in Sunday's race, while Christopher Bell sat at No. 3. Tyler Reddick and Ryan Blaney rounded out the top five by finishing at No. 4 and No. 5, respectively.

Here's a look at the Goodyear 400 final results:

2. William Byron

3. Christopher Bell

5. Ryan Blaney

6. Chris Buescher

7. Ross Chastain

8. Chase Elliott

9. Ty Gibbs

10. Kyle Busch

William Byron entered Sunday's action with pole position and was in control for most of the race, as he ended up leading for 243 laps.

Ad Placeholder

Byron, in his No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet, also won Stage 1 and Stage 2.

He finally lost the lead to Hamlin on Lap 244, who was later passed by Tyler Reddick. Earlier in the race, Reddick made contact with Josh Berry which resulted in Berry spinning and hitting the inside wall. Both drivers were battling for the No. 5 position at the time.

Ad Placeholder

Blaney then surged ahead of Reddick before the final caution, which resulted in Hamlin's victory in his No. 11 Toyota.

"There's two people I really love right now: My pit crew and Kyle Larson," Hamlin said after the race. "Had a little assist there, so thank you. But the pit crew just did an amazing job. They won it last week, they won it this week, it's all about them."

With the win, Hamlin moved up to No. 2 in the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series standings. Christopher Bell also improved to No. 3, while Byron remained at No. 1 with 315 points.

The Cup Series will continue with the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway on April 13.

The 30-year-old Bell is off to a red-hot start this season, as he won three consecutive Cup Series races at Atlanta, Circuit of the Americas and Phoenix.

His excellent form carried over to qualifying Saturday, as he laid down a blazing-fast lap that no other driver was able to match:

Ad Placeholder

Bell is the only driver with more than one win so far this season, and he is currently fifth in the point standings.

His 2025 form, coupled with the fact that he won a Cup Series race at Martinsville in 2022, arguably makes Bell the driver to beat in the Cook Out 400.

Chase Elliott is another past winner at Martinsville, having entered Victory Lane in 2020, and he will have a great chance to take the checkered flag again Sunday after qualifying second.

Elliott seemed happy with his qualifying effort overall, but suggested there is more left in the tank, which is a scary piece of information for the rest of the field:

Elliott's Hendrick Motorsports teammate, William Byron, won at Martinsville last year and in 2022. By virtue of qualifying 10th, he has to be considered a strong threat to win as well.

Ryan Blaney has won two of the past three Cup Series races at "The Paperclip," and he finished second in the points standings last season after winning the title in 2023.

All of that makes him a contender, although he has plenty of work to do after qualifying a disappointing 32nd.

The NASCAR Cup Series Cook Out 400 is scheduled to start Sunday at 3 p.m. ET, and it will air on FS1.

NASCAR Cup Series Straight Talk Wireless 400

Kyle Larson emerged victorious in the Straight Talk Wireless 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Sunday.

Driving the No. 5 Chevrolet, Larson secured his 30th overall NASCAR Cup Series win and first of 2025.

Sunday's result also represented the 32-year-old's second NACAR Cup Series victory at Homestead-Miami Speedway in his career.

Larson passed Hendrick Motorsports teammate Alex Bowman with roughly six laps remaining in Sunday's race, leading for 19 of the 267 total laps.

Bowman, who won pole position on Saturday, was battling with Bubba Wallace throughout the final few laps before both drivers fell behind Larson.

Ad Placeholder

"One of the coolest wins of my cup career because of all the heartbreak here," Larson said after the win, via Brett Winningham of Speedway Digest.

He had a chance to sweep the weekend, but he fell just short in his Xfinity Series appearance after clinching a late win in the Truck Series on Friday.

Ryan Blaney, the runner-up in the past two Homestead races, was able to hold off Bowman for the Stage 1 win to secure 10 championship points and one playoff point.

Ad Placeholder

Blaney led for a race-high 124 laps, but an engine failure put an end to his hopes of coming away with a win.

Denny Hamlin won Stage 2 on Sunday, narrowly edging out Larson. Bowman, Hamlin, Larson and Wallace were battling for the lead throughout the final stage before Bowman cleared Wallace for the No. 1 spot with 33 laps to go.

Tyler Reddick won the race in 2024 but couldn't achieve the feat for a second consecutive year, finishing eighth.

The 2025 NASCAR Cup Series will continue at Martinsville Speedway on March 30.

Reddick, the defending champion at the track, won't have the best starting position, qualifying at No. 20.

Josh Berry remains in solid form, however, qualifying at No. 2 after winning his first career race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway last week.
