A fun first stage at Talladega on Sunday afternoon resulted in a photo finish for the Stage 1 win, with Austin Cindric edging out Chase Elliott by a hair.
Austin Cindric got wrecked and turned around on the overtime restart, but NASCAR swallowed the whistle and didn’t throw a caution. With William Byron leading a Hendrick 1-2-3 to the finish, no flag was brought out on the Green-White-Checkered.
After the Daytona 500, you'd be hard pressed to find a NASCAR fan who thought Ford would be bringing up the rear of the pack in wins six weeks into the season.
