Austin Cindric picked up a surprise NASCAR Cup victory on Sunday at World Wide Technology Raceway when his Penske teammate Ryan Blaney ran out of fuel in the final laps.

Blaney, the reigning series champion, looked primed to pick up his first win of the 2024 season after surviving a wild duel with Christopher Bell. Cindric had cut Blaney’s lead to under two seconds with three of 240 laps remaining, but Blaney’s No. 12 Penske Ford suddenly fell off the pace. Cindric inherited the lead and held off Denny Hamlin by 3.844 seconds to pick up his second career win and ended an 85-race winless streak.

Stage 1 Bell ran down Michael McDowell and passed him for the lead with five laps to go and held on to take the Stage 1 win by 0.726 seconds. Blaney was third, Cindric fourth and Hamlin fifth. During the caution for an incident involving Cody Ware and Derek Kraus, Keselowski had to pit twice due to a loose wheel on his No. 6 Ford and fell to the rear of the field. Stage 2 Bell claimed the Stage 2 win under caution when Larson and Kyle Busch wrecked racing for position on the final lap.
