Watch Massive NASCAR Atlanta Race Crash Damages More than 20 Cars

On June 28 at Atlanta’s EchoPark Speedway, Chase Elliott claimed his 20th NASCAR Cup Series win by overtaking Brad Keselowski on the race’s final lap.
The victory came after a major crash on lap 69, which started when Denny Hamlin collided with John Hunter Nemechek, causing Nemechek to crash into the wall and block the track.
The crash affected 23 cars, including major drivers like Logano, Kyle Larson, and William Byron, several of whom ended their races early or needed repairs.
Elliott acknowledged Alex Bowman's help in blocking Keselowski and said, "I recognize that he gave me a great shove" which aided his victory; Bowman finished third.
Elliott's win ended a 44-race drought and improved his playoff positioning, with Alan Gustafson noting the victory's importance for the 2025 playoff race.
