NASCAR Cup Series YellaWood 500 at Talladega Race Results

Chase Briscoe punched his ticket into the NASCAR Cup Series Championship 4 with a thrilling win in Sunday's YellaWood 500 at Talladega. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver joins his teammate Denny Hamlin, who locked into the Championship 4 with a win last week at Las Vegas.

Briscoe, who made some bold moves in the closing laps to knife around Bubba Wallace for the race lead, held on to win the race by a margin of 0.145 seconds over Front Row Motorsports driver Todd Gilliland, who collected a career-best second-place finish.

Ty Gibbs came home in third, while Wallace faded to fourth, and Cole Custer finished fifth.

Christopher Bell in eighth, was the only other Playoff driver aside from Briscoe to finish inside the top-10.

Joey Logano, 16th
Ryan Blaney, 23rd
Denny Hamlin, 24th
William Byron, 25th
Kyle Larson, 26th
Chase Elliott, 40th
