Despite having the momentum needed to win at Talladega Superspeedway, Brad Keselowski saw victory slip away due to contact with Michael McDowell. Keselowski acknowledged McDowell’s strong blocking skills but felt disappointed as the two collided in their battle for the lead.

Keselowski briefly took the lead but was ultimately overtaken by Tyler Reddick, resulting in his second consecutive second-place finish. Although Keselowski recognized that no one was necessarily at fault for the outcome, he expressed regret for McDowell missing out on a solid day and emphasized the importance of securing a win.
