NASCAR Cup Series Jack Link’s 500 Results

On Sunday, April 26, Carson Hocevar secured his first career NASCAR Cup Series victory at Talladega Superspeedway, driving for Spire Motorsports and passing Chris Buescher in the Jack Link's 500.
Tight racing packs at nearly 200 mph make Talladega known for massive wrecks; a collision involving 27 cars erupted early in Stage 2, eliminating several top contenders from Sunday's race.
Hocevar, competing in his 91st Cup series start, used a drafting push from Alex Bowman's Chevrolet to edge past Buescher with two laps remaining, then celebrated by climbing onto his car's roof.
Points leader Tyler Reddick announced a multiyear contract extension with 23XI Racing during Sunday's prerace show, expressing relief that "myself and 23XI were able to get to a good place and get the deal done."
The NASCAR Cup Series races May 3 at Texas Motor Speedway, the season's lone stop at the 1.5-mile oval near Fort Worth, where three-time champion Joey Logano won last year.
