Ten races have taken place in the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season. Team Penske driver Austin Cindric became the latest winner of the season after winning the Jack Link’s 500 at Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday, April 27.

Cindric’s dramatic last-lap pass helped to edge out Ryan Preece on the final lap to take his first win of the season at the longest oval on the schedule, Talladega Superspeedway.

With the win, Cindric locked his playoff spot and gained 48 points. He moved to 14th place in the points table with 219 points. After a runner-up finish at Talladega, Kyle Larson gained 54 points and moved to second place in the Cup Series points table with 358 points.

After a P3 finish at Talladega, William Byron gained 43 points and maintained the top position in the Cup points table with 389 points.

Zane Smith, who started on the pole, failed to utilize the advantage and secured a 22nd-place finish. He gained 22 points and is 23rd in the points standings with 183 points.

Joey Logano, the defending NASCAR Cup Series champion, who initially finished in fifth place, was disqualified after failing the post-race inspection. He moved to 11th place in the points table with 246 points.
