Ross Chastain is officially winner of Coca-Cola 600, retaluating from incredible odds in a total team effort to win the longest Nascar race. And even if it was an exaltation for him, it was a bitter disappointment for Hendrick Motorsportsand not only because William Byron Lost after dominating most of the race. Kyle Larson’s “double” attempt ended with two DNFs, Denny Hamlin Also fuel, and the NASCAR CUP series was broadcast exclusively in streaming for the very first time.

So, take a look at the greatest winners and losers of 600 miles in Charlotte:

Winner: Each person who worked on the rescue car of Ross Chastain

Watch: Ross Chastain does audacity to win 2025 Coca-Cola 600

Nearly 30 people abandoned what they were doing to help prepare the Chastain emergency car after a training accidentBurning midnight oil and working after 2 am to offer car race. Even the team leader operated with less than three hours of sleep. And yet, they did not simply manage to make the car competitive, but they gave Chastain a Chevrolet n ° 1 that he was able to go from the last to the first – which was never done before in the Coca -Cola 600. A real Herculean effort of the entire organization.

Larson officially directed the double Indy-Charlotte on the same day, becoming the fifth sec to do so, but it came to more than 500 miles to travel all the distance. HHe recorded two DNFs to show its efforts, crashed from Indy 500 and later the Coca-Cola 600. In Charlotte, he took the lead early, but hit the wall and turned while controlling the race. The team spent most of the race trying to repair the toe, only to be collected in an end-of-race accident just after halfway. Do not be surprised if we never see Larson trying the “double” after the way his last two outings have disappeared.

AllMendinger is quietly one of the most versatile runners on the market. Winner in Nascar, IMSA, Cart and several other disciplines, the 43 -year -old man appeared in the longest Nascar race and delivered an incredible performance. After qualifying the fifth for Coca-Cola 600, he stayed there all night, finishing fourth in his best cup on an oval not edited from Homestead in 2022. It is also his best finish of all time in the 600, bouncing consecutive races with DNFS.

Loser: Denny Hamlin to run on vacuum

Hamlin seemed to have the second best car overnight and was the only driver to constantly challenge Byron for the race advance, but when the checkered flag stole, he was in 16th place. Hamlin was running second after the stand for stand stops, but its Joe Gibbs Racing stand team failed to correctly connect the second gas box and could not satiate itself. Forced to stop at the unforeseen stand, he could only look at 600 hard work miles evaporating before his eyes.

WINNER: Brad Keselowski Finally, puts a full race

This has been a horrible season so far for Keselowski, and although the Sunday show does not save him from the point hole in which he is now, it is certainly a step in the right direction. The veteran driver charged the 35th on the grid, avoiding the whole drama to finish a fifth silencer, marking both his first top and the first top ten of the 2025 season. Maybe the RFK Racing Ford N ° 6 finally turns things.

Loser: the fan who stole the chastain hat

After fighting Byron for the victory, Chastain faced another type of battle on Pit Road after the race. A daring fan reached the car and stole the hat at the top of his head. Chastain later revealed to what extent his racial winning hats are important to him and how he could barely believe him when the fan tried to run away. Fortunately, he recovered the hat at the end, but what a bizarre end to his day otherwise perfect.

Cabic TV Beware. The Nascar Cup series ran a race exclusively in streaming for the very first time and it was a success. With professional broadcast and tons of before and post-course coverage, Prime Video receives overwhelming praise. The whole last series of the race took place without interruption with Zero Publicine, and it seemed that the broadcast would never end because they interviewed several pilots and the two best finisters twice! The broadcast was engaging and the team of commentators, which included Dale Earnhardt Jr.kept those who look on the edge of their seats. And the promotion leading to the event was also impressive, in particular the production of a very acclaimed documentary on the deceased, Great Dale Earnhardt. The only negative is that Prime did not buy more than five races this summer!

Loser: everything that was going on Penske team

Penske had a bad week that culminated with a difficult day in Indianapolis and Charlotte. At 600, Ryan Blaney crushed the race and finished 38th. Austin Cindric’s car was damaged at some point and he was drinking at a 31st place, 12 laps. And then there is Joey LoganoWho was deeply in the peloton for most of the race, but he was at least able to make his way to an impressive 17th because he was the last car on the head. It is certainly a month of May »Roger Penske will surely want to forget.
