John Speedway·

Chase Elliott won his second Texas Cup race Sunday by 0.407 seconds over Denny Hamlin, with a final-restart side-draft push from Hendrick Motorsports teammate Alex Bowman clearing him through Turn 2. Bowman finished P3, Tyler Reddick took P4 on a two-tire stop, and Connor Zilisch quietly logged his best Cup oval finish (P16) in the JRM development car. Hendrick has now won four of the last six Cup races at Texas Motor Speedway.
