Talladega Race Notes
Denny Hamlin who started on the pole led the opening 16 laps. Hamlin selected to start in the low line.
Big Moment: On lap 1, Christopher Bell had a tire go down and spun. Other drivers involved were Bubba Wallace, Tyler Reddick and Ty Dillon. Bell spun on his own and then Reddick had some contact with him. This marked the end of the race for Bell. Reddick had damage that required a lot of tape to his nose, but his car was OK. Bubba Wallace ran into the back of Ty Dillon and had slight damage.
On lap 7, JGR cars were running 1,2,3 (Hamlin, Truex and Kyle Busch).
