🔶BODY:
Ross Chastain is officially a winner of the Coca-Cola 600, fighting back from incredible odds in a total team effort to win NASCAR's longest race. And while it was elation for him, it was a bitter disappointment for Hendrick Motorsports and not just because William Byron lost after dominating most of the race. Kyle larson's 'Double' attempt ended in two DNFs,Denny Hamlin ran out of fuel,and the NASCAR Cup Series aired exclusively on streaming for the very first time.
So, let's take a look at the biggest winners and losers from 600 miles at Charlotte:
WINNER: Every single person who worked on Ross Chastain's backup car

- WINNER: Every single person who worked on Ross Chastain's backup car
- LOSER: Kyle Larson's double disaster
- WINNER: Aj general carries kaulig to its best run in years
- LOSER: Denny Hamlin for running on empty
- WINNER: Brad Keselowski finally puts a full race together
- LOSER: William Byron can't close the deal
Nearly 30 people dropped what they were doing to help in preparing Chastain's backup car after a practice crash burning the midnight oil and working past 2am to get the car race-ready. Even the crew chief was operating on less than three hours of sleep. And yet, they didn't just succeed in making the car competitive, but they gave Chastain a No. 1 Chevrolet he was able to drive from last to first -- which has never been done before in the Coca-Cola 600. A true Herculean effort by the entire organization.
LOSER: Kyle Larson's double disaster
larson has officially run the Indy-Charlotte Double on the same day, becoming the fifth drier to do so, but he came over 500 miles shy of running the full distance. He recorded two DNFs to show for his efforts, crashing out of the Indy 500 and later the Coca-Cola 600. At Charlotte, he took the lead early, but actually hit the wall and spun while in complete control of the race. The team spent most of the race trying to fix the toe, only for him to be collected in a race-ending crash just after the halfway point. Don't be surprised if we never see Larson attempt the 'Double' again after how his last two outings have gone.
WINNER: Aj general carries kaulig to its best run in years
Allmendinger is quietly one of the most versatile racers out there. A winner in NASCAR, IMSA, CART and several other disciplines, the 43-year-old showed up to NASCAR's longest race and delivered an incredible performance.After qualifying fifth for the Coca-Cola 600, he stayed right there the entire night, finishing fourth in his best Cup finish on a non-drafting oval as Homestead in 2022. It's also his best finish ever in the 600,rebounding from back-to-back races with DNFs.
LOSER: Denny Hamlin for running on empty
Hamlin appeared to have the second-best car all night and was the only driver to consistently challenge Byron for the race lead, but when the checkered flag flew, he was in 16th place. Hamlin was running second after the final round of pit stops, but his Joe Gibbs Racing pit crew failed to properly connect the second gas can and were unable to get the tank full.Forced to make an unscheduled pit stop, he could only watch as 600 miles of hard work evaporated in front of his eyes.
WINNER: Brad Keselowski finally puts a full race together
Keselowski has been quietly building momentum, and it all came together at Charlotte. He led 20 laps and finished runner-up to Chastain,his best result of the season. It's his first top-five since Talladega and a huge step in the right direction for RFK Racing.
LOSER: William Byron can't close the deal
Byron led a race-high 249 laps and won Stage 2, but he faded late and finished tenth. It's a disappointing result for a driver who looked to be in control for much of the night.It's also the second consecutive race where the No. 24 team has struggled on pit road, costing them valuable track position.
