LINCOLN, Ala. -- In yet another close finish at a track notorious for them, Austin Cindric edged out Ryan Preece in a photo finish to win the Jack Link's 500 at Talladega Superspeedway. Cindric, the 2022 Daytona 500 champion and one of the best superspeedway racers in NASCAR, earned his first Talladega win and the third win of his Cup career.

Austin Cindric may have frustrated teammate Joey Logano during Stage 2 at Talladega, but he left Ford smiling after putting the car back in Victory Lane. After a big win, Cindric got some extra attention thanks to a fun moment on social media — and a little help from Cup Series rival Todd Gilliland.
