Ryan Blaney captured the 2026 Quaker State 400 NASCAR Cup Series race at Atlanta’s EchoPark Speedway in a dramatic overtime finish.

Blaney held off a ferocious late charge from Christopher Bell whose No. 20 Toyota ultimately crossed the finish line three-wide alongside 23XI Racing’s Bubba Wallace and Spire Motorsports’ Carson Hocevar.

Wallace crossed the line second on the road, but was handed a post-race penalty for going below the yellow line during the last minute battle to the finish, dropping all the way down to 29th.

Bell was promoted to second and Hocevar to third, with Joe Gibbs Racing’s Ty Gibbs and Legacy Motor Club’s Erik Jones rounding out the top five.

Trackhouse Racing driver Shane van Gisbergen took sixth, Richard Childress Racing’s Austin Dillon was seventh, followed by Tyler Reddick, who won at Atlanta in February.

Blaney’s Penske teammate Joey Logano was ninth, while RFK’s Chris Buescher wrapped up the top ten.
