Spire Motorsports star Carson Hocevar has taken his first-ever NASCAR Cup Series victory after a chaotic race at Talladega Superspeedway.

It was an incredibly tight race right until the last in Alabama, but by the end of the race, Hocevar had gotten his No. 77 Chevrolet just 0.114 seconds ahead of Chris Buescher in the No. 17 at the black and white checkered flag, putting his RFK rival second.

Hocevar is the second first-time winner in the Cup Series this season after Ty Gibbs' win at Bristol, and he put on a show for the fans with an awesome celebration consisting of burnouts and a drive around the track hanging out of his car.

Elsewhere at Talladega, Alex Bowman finished third in the No. 48, a good points haul, while Chase Elliott and Zane Smith both made the top five.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Ross Chastain, Austin Cindric, Noah Gragson and Kyle Busch rounded out the top 10, meanwhile, the latter achieving his best result of the season.

Aside from the results, the big talking point coming out of the race was a huge wreck that caught up at least 26 cars in stage two, forcing multiple drivers, such as Kyle Larson, Joey Logano, Bubba Wallace and Ryan Blaney, to park up in the garage after sustaining damage.

Thankfully, NASCAR has confirmed that all drivers involved were evaluated and cleared from the infield care center.

With that said, let’s take a look at the final race results below!
