Who won the NASCAR playoff race today?

Chase Elliott, driving the #9 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports, secured his second win of the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season at Kansas’s 1.5-mile-long track and clinched his Round of 8 spot in the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs.

In a thrilling double-overtime race, Elliott was running around fifth or sixth place with two laps to go, but Bubba Wallace and Denny Hamlin made contact on the final lap while battling for the lead, and it opened a gate for the #9 HMS driver to cross the finish line in P1.

The 29-year-old driver from Dawsonville, Georgia, led for 24 laps and crossed the finish line by a thin margin of 0.069 seconds over Denny Hamlin to take the checkered flag at the Hollywood Casino 400. The win marked Elliott’s 21st career win in the series.

Meanwhile, Denny Hamlin finished runner-up after leading a race-high 159 laps, followed by Christopher Bell, Chase Briscoe, and Bubba Wallace in the top five. Kyle Larson, Tyler Reddick, Brad Keselowski, William Byron, and Shane van Gisbergen completed the top 10.
