The 2023 NASCAR Cup Series GEICO 500 is finally done and dusted. The 10th race of the season started at 3:20 pm ET on Sunday (April 23) and lasted for three hours, 33 minutes, and 25 seconds. The race took place at Talladega Superspeedway, with a total of 38 entries.

Kyle Busch, driving the #8 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 for Richard Childress Racing, clinched his second win of the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series season in overtime. The veteran driver emerged as a contender in the final mile of the race, where he stole the win after a double overtime restart and stayed clear of the last lap crash when other race leaders crashed or ran out of fuel.

Kyle Busch didn’t lead a single lap during the race and was not in a winning position until double overtime. The #8 driver took the lead on the final lap when Bubba Wallace Jr. and Ryan Blaney wrecked while battling for first place. The race then ended under caution with Busch in front. He was officially awarded the win after the replay was reviewed.

The win marked his 62nd NASCAR Cup Series career victory and second at Talladega Superspeedway.

Meanwhile, Ryan Blaney, who led a race high 47 laps finished runner-up, followed by Chris Buescher, Chase Briscoe, and Brad Keselowski in the top five. Erik Jones, William Byron, Christopher Bell, Daniel Suárez, and Todd Gilliland completed the top 10.
