The 188-lap race at Talladega Superspeedway was a high-octane showdown, as expected. However, it was the final lap that stole the show. Michael McDowell led off of turn four on the last lap, but a bad second block against hard-charging Brad Keselowski turned into a multi-car crash that included McDowell and at least a dozen other cars. The chaos unfolded as drivers jockeyed for position, and the high-speed draft made every move critical.
