Additional Notes: It was cool to see the old Dale Earnhardt colors win again. It was Truex’s third straight win at Talladega. Also, Truex accidentally left his HANS device sitting on top of his car after retrieving the checkerd flag. When he drove away it fell off. I am sure some person had to retrieve it.
