A multicar wreck involving several race-contending heavyweights brought out the first caution of the day at Talladega Superspeedway.
As a collection of cars headed to pit road on Lap 43 during Stage 1, Brad Keselowski’s No. 6 RFK Racing Ford veered into Kyle Busch’s No. 8 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet. The contact resulted in both cars steering up the race track, clipping Alex Bowman’s No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet and collecting Ryan Blaney’s No. 12 Team Penske Ford.
