Player_13 Wins Chaotic Kmart All-Star Showdown After Final-Lap Drama

The 2025 Kmart All-Star Showdown at Darlington delivered exactly what fans expect from an All-Star race — chaos, drama, and a finish nobody could’ve predicted.

The closing laps came down to a fierce three-way battle between Jaxon, Player_13, and Wispy. But on the final lap, everything unraveled. Entering Turns 3 and 4, Jaxon sent his truck into an aggressive divebomb that failed to stick, triggering a massive crash that collected half the field. As the pack scattered, Jaxon shoved Player_13 into the outside wall on corner exit, dragging both cars toward the line in a tangle of sheet metal.

Race control reviewed the incident, and after a full post-race ruling, Jaxon was officially disqualified for avoidable race manipulation — handing the All-Star victory to Player_13, who ran in the back for much of the event before the late-race fireworks.

Behind the chaos, Wispy slipped through the wreck to secure an unexpected but well-earned second-place finish, marking his best result of the Kmart Cup season.

The Darlington All-Star Showdown delivered everything but calm — and with the playoff stretch approaching, tensions across the grid have never been higher.
