Chase Elliott became the 12th winner of the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season, ending a 44-race winless streak by outdueling Brad Keselowski at EchoPark Speedway south of Atlanta.
Elliott, who most recently had won on April 14, 2024 at Texas Motor Speedway, became the 44th driver to reach the 20-win mark in his Cup career. It’s the second win at Atlanta for the Dawsonville, Georgia, native.

The top 10 finishers also advanced to the second round of the In-Season Challenge.
