NASCAR Rookie Jake Mitchell Wins Talladega

NASCAR Shake-Up: Rising Star Jake Mitchell Wins First Cup Series Race at Talladega

Talladega, AL — April 28, 2025 — In a stunning upset, 22-year-old rookie Jake Mitchell took the checkered flag at the GEICO 500 at Talladega Superspeedway, securing his first-ever NASCAR Cup Series victory in only his 15th career start.

Mitchell, driving the No. 42 Chevrolet for Legacy Motor Club, held off a hard-charging Ryan Blaney and Chase Elliott in a dramatic last-lap duel that saw three-wide racing at over 200 mph. The race ended under caution after a multi-car wreck erupted behind the leaders, freezing the field and confirming Mitchell’s historic win.

'I can't believe this—this is a dream come true!' Mitchell shouted over the radio as he crossed the finish line. 'This team gave me an incredible car, and we just kept fighting. To win at Talladega? Unreal!'

The victory marks the first for Legacy Motor Club since Erik Jones won at Darlington in 2022 and solidifies Mitchell as a serious contender in the Rookie of the Year battle.

Big Wreck Shakes Up Playoff Picture

The race wasn’t without controversy. A massive 'Big One' crash on Lap 172 took out several playoff hopefuls, including Kyle Larson, Denny Hamlin, and Joey Logano, severely impacting their points standings. Larson, who entered the race as the regular-season points leader, finished 28th after his car was destroyed in the pileup.

Championship Implications

With Mitchell’s win, the playoff grid now has an unexpected new entry, shaking up the postseason landscape. Meanwhile, veterans like Martin Truex Jr. and Brad Keselowski maintained strong finishes, keeping themselves in title contention.

What’s Next?

The NASCAR Cup Series heads to Dover International Speedway next Sunday, where Mitchell will look to continue his Cinderella season. Can the rookie keep the momentum, or will the seasoned veterans strike back?

Stay tuned for more updates on NASCAR’s most surprising season in years!
