Who won the NASCAR race today?
Austin Cindric, driving the #2 Ford for Team Penske, secured a surprise victory at Gateway when his teammate Ryan Blaney ran out of fuel coming to the white flag.
Blaney, the defending Cup champion, appeared to bag his first win of the season until a miscalculation by his team left him one lap short on fuel and handed the lead to his teammate.
Cindric charged past Blaney in under two seconds with three laps to go and held off the rest of the field to win Enjoy Illinois 300. Blaney, who suddenly fell off the pace, went on to finish in 24th place.
Cindric’s #2 Ford crossed the finish line 3.844 seconds ahead of Denny Hamlin to end his 85-race winless streak. The win also marked Cindric’s second of his career, dating back to his first Cup win in the 2022 Daytona 500 as a rookie.
Meanwhile, Denny Hamlin finished as runner-up, followed by Brad Keselowski, Tyler Reddick, and Joey Logano in the top five. Austin Dillon, Christopher Bell, Carson Hocevar, Justin Haley, and Kyle Larson completed the top 10 in the Enjoy Illinois 300.
