TALLADEGA, Ala. — The final laps of the Jack Links 500 turned into an all-out Ford vs. Chevy battle, and when the checkered flag flew, Ford's Austin Cindric and Ryan Preece held off Chevy's Kyle Larson and William Byron in a photo finish. Cindric won by about a yard, just holding off Preece as the pack approached lapped traffic.
There’s an unspoken subtext to every Talladega race: The Big One. The massive, high-banked superspeedway provides perfect conditions for enormous, field-swallowing wrecks.
