Full results from NASCAR Cup Yellawood 500 from Talladega
Ryan Blaney secured his spot in the semi-finals of the NASCAR Playoffs with a close victory over Kevin Harvick at Talladega in the Yellawood 500. The race was relatively calm, but had a red flag situation with 27 laps to go, eliminating Brad Keselowski, Austin Dillon, and Ty Gibbs. After a brief caution for debris, the race came down to a typical Talladega finish with Blaney and Harvick battling for the lead. In his final superspeedway race before retiring, Blaney managed to hold off Harvick by a mere 0.012s while a wreck unfolded behind them. Blaney and William Byron have both secured spots in the semi-finals, leaving only the Charlotte Roval race in the Round of 12. The drivers below the playoff bubble are currently Kyle Larson, Bubba Wallace, Tyler Reddick, and Kyle Busch, with Blaney sitting comfortably in 11th place thanks to his win. Additionally, the Stewart Haas Racing duo consisting of Ryan Preece and Chase Briscoe performed well, finishing ninth and 14th respectively, while sporting liveries from the movie Talladega Nights.
