NASCAR driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr wins at Talladega by .006 seconds

Retired NASCAR driver Greg Biffle and pilot Aaron Lloyd tell 'Jesse Watters Primetime' how they're helping Hurricane Helene victims.

The 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season has been filled with close finishes all year long and Sunday’s Yellawood 500 at Talladega Superspeedway provided another classic moment.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. was battling Brad Keselowski, William Byron and Kyle Larson for the lead on the final overtime lap. As the pack made its way onto the frontstretch, Byron appeared to give Stenhouse the push he needed to get out into first place.

Byron attempted to make it three-wide as the drivers neared the start-finish line, but he was a little too late. Stenhouse crossed the line in first place with Keselowski and Byron behind him.

"This team has put a lot of hard work in. Obviously, we haven’t won since the 500 in 2023," Stenhouse said afterward, per NBC Sports. "It’s been an up-and-down season. It was a lot of hard work just trying to find a little bit of speed, but we knew this was a track one ours to come get. So, for all of our Southern Mississippi people, appreciate you all coming. 

"This means a lot, winning here."
