Briar's Top 5 From The Truck Race At Talladega

1. Grant Enfinger- Had a strong truck all day, stayed out of trouble, and was able to bring home his first career win.

2. Spencer Gallagher- Was there at the end of the race to steal the win away from Enfinger. But unable to do so, as Enfinger fended him off.

3. Rico Abreu- Missed the big accident with 35 to go, came home in the third position. Nice effort by Abreu.

4. Christopher Bell- For someone who had a broken shifter, he sure didn't show it, as he finished in the top 5 and moved onto the round of 6th.

5. Ryan Truex- Finished in the top 10 by finishing 8th. A great run by Truex today, who has been decent on superspeedway races.

Honorable Mention- Daniel Hemric- Yes, Hemric is eliminated from competing for the championship, but the effort by him and his crew were unbelievable. After being involved on a lap 42 crash, he suffered minor damage to the vehicle. His crew got him back out there to continue on. Then got involved in the big one on lap 42. This time suffering more damage to his truck. The crew continued to work on it and put him back out there. He finally got his break, with a caution on lap 50, which put him back on the lead lap. Hemric's day most likely ended when being involved in the big crash with 35 to go. He brought out the final caution with 12 to go by spinning out. But with the effort of his crew trying to pull something out of the hat, Hemric came up short by finishing in the 11th position. Solid effort though, for the no.19 Brad Keselowski Racing team, as they tried feverishly to get him the win.
