2023 NASCAR Cup Series - YellaWood 500

The fight for the final 8 continues as the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series playoffs head to Talladega for the Yellawood 500. No football game or the recent government shutdown stopping these drivers from fighting their way to keep their playoff hopes alive and revving.

As the green flag waved, the action in Talladega is underway. As Ryan Blaney wins Stage 1, Stage 2 saw Ross Chastain sustained some damage following contact with Kyle Busch door-to-door with Christopher Bell got caught in the incident. Meanwhile, Denny Hamlin got slapped with a penalty for going too fast in the pits. With Brad Keselowski winning Stage 2, the final stage saw fire at the pit line followed by an on-track disaster that sent Dillon, Keselowski, Hocevar, and Gibbs packing, triggering a red flag in the process.
