Sunday's NASCAR Cup race at Talladega ended in a dramatic, but clean photo finish. Austin Cindric and Ryan Preece drag-raced to the line with a pair of Hendrick cars pushing them, but it was Cindric who edged ahead at the finish line in a thrilling photo finish. The Ford driver also had the help of a draft from two lapped cars on the inside line, right in front of him.
"I'm just so proud of this team," said an excited Cindric. "From the cycles to the fast cars to the fuel-only stops. Doug -- my spotter, everybody. I've been trying for three, four years now to get a Cup win for John Menard and Menard's. That bright yellow car looks good out front. I'm just so thankful for everyone's support. The Ford Performance, Roush Yates engine package at these types of race tracks are second to none. We talk about in every single one of these meetings why we haven't won one of these races. Just really proud of this effort."
