A race filled with wrecks and impending weather threats, we left Talladega with everyone alive so we are Thankful. Kyle Busch, Austin Dillon, Jamie McMurray, and Chase Elliott rounded out the Top 5. After 3 wrecks contender Michael McDowell was relegated to a 21st place finish but was still improving and noticeable.
