At Gateway, Austin Cindric secured an unexpected win in the NASCAR Cup Series after his teammate Ryan Blaney's car ran out of gas on the final lap. Blaney, initially in the lead, pitted early but ended up finishing 24th. This marked Team Penske's first victory of the season, as Cindric overtook the lead to claim the win, while Denny Hamlin, Brad Keselowski, and Tyler Reddick followed behind. Concerns lingered over Kyle Larson's championship eligibility as NASCAR postponed confirming if he would receive a waiver following his absence from a recent race, ultimately affecting his standings despite his continued lead in regular season points.
