Jučerašnjom trkom Aaron’s 499 nastavljena je NASCAR sezona.

Na najvećoj i najbržoj NASCAR stazi slavio je Brad Keselowski, vozač #2 Dodgea za Penske Racing što je njegova druga pobeda u sezoni i prva pobeda za Dodge na Talladega Superspeedway u poslednjih 36 godina.

Keselowski je uspeo u poslednjem krugu da izbije na prvo mesto zahvaljujući Kyle Buschu, koji ga je pogurao, a zatim i da napravi dovoljno veliku razliku da sa lakoćom pobedi.

Mlađi od braće Busch je završio kao drugi dok se na trećem mestu našao Matt Kenseth. Vozač #17 Forda je vodio najviše krugova i činilo se da ima automobil za pobedu, ali u samom finišu je zakazao njegov klupski kolega Greg Biffle koji nije uspeo da ga pogura i završnim sekundama meča. Biffle je na kraju završio kao peti i zadržao prvo mesto u generalnom plasmanu, a poziciju ispred njega se našao Kasey Kahne za volanom Chevroleta.

Iako Talladega Superspeedway važi za stazu sa mnogo sudara, ovaj auto veći sudari su izbegnuti, ali je viđeno nekoliko manjih. Neki od njih su izbacili nekoliko favorita iz trke kao što su Carl Edwards, Jimmie Johnson i Ryan Newman. Veliki broj sudara je viđen u samoj završnici kada su vozači postajali nervozniji i kada je došlo vreme za borbu za poziciju. Poslednji je viđen na četiri kruga pre kraja. Činilo se da će Kenseth mirno privesti trku kraju kada je Denny Hamlin izazvao sudar posle kontakta sa A.J. Allmendingerom u kome je učestvovalo čak 13 automobila. Usledio je već opisani finiš u kome je Keselowski imao najviše kocentracije.

Sledi nedelju dana pauze, a sledeća trka se vozi sa legendarnom Darlingtonu.
