Austin Cindric says he doesn't feel "special" after getting into victory lane at Talladega, but his win could be the boost that Team Penske desperately needs.

Austin Cindric celebrated his first win of the season by wearing Talladega's Superspeedway traditional victory wreath all around the track. "Feels like I just won the Indy 500," he said of Sunday's NASCAR race.

Austin Cindric’s dramatic last lap pass provided exactly the sort of Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway thrill that NASCAR fans have come to expect at the sport’s biggest track, earning the 2022 Daytona 500 winner Cindric – and Team Penske – their first trophies of the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season.
