The 2022 NASCAR Cup Series EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix is complete. The most awaited first road course of the season started at 3:49 pm ET and lasted for 3 hours, 20 minutes, and 57 seconds at the Circuit of the Americas, with a total of 39 entries.
Driving the #1 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 for Trackhouse Racing Team, Ross Chastain claimed his first career Cup Series win in overtime on Sunday. He got past and held off AJ Allmendinger and Alex Bowman in the final lap battle to take the checkered flag home.
The win also marked the Trackhouse Racing Team’s first win in the series’ history. The 29-year-old celebrated the iconic win with his signature watermelon smash.
Meanwhile, Alex Bowman, the Pennzoil 400 winner, finished second, followed by Christopher Bell in third and defending champion Chase Elliott in fourth. Tyler Reddick, who has put in a consistent performance so far in the championship, completed the top-five.
On Twitter, the Trackhouse Racing Team soaked up the moment of Ross Chastain’s victory, stating that:
“Soak it all in @RossChastain, soak it all in.”
NASCAR's official handle took to Twitter to congratulate Ross Chastain on winning his first-ever career Cup race.
Ryan Blaney, who won Sunday's pole, failed to take much advantage of the starting front as he finished 6th.
