Brad Keselowski earned his sixth NASCAR Cup Series win at Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday.
It was also the fourth of those six to come on a last-lap pass, joining previous ‘Dega victories from April 2009 (his first career Cup win), October 2014 and October 2017.
Additionally, Keselowski gave Team Penske its ninth win in the last 14 races at NASCAR’s biggest track.
William Byron‘s runner-up finish was his best result since winning at Miami back in February. He has recorded eight consecutive top-10 finishes.
According to Racing Insights, that’s the longest such streak by a Hendrick Motorsports driver since Dale Earnhardt Jr. had eight between October 2013 at Talladega and March 2014 at Las Vegas.
Michael McDowell‘s third-place finish was his best result since winning the Daytona 500 to start the season. It was also his fourth top 10 this season, matching his career high set in 2020.
