    Xfinity finishes under caution at Talladega
    Justin Haley wins and that makes it 3 in a row for Justin at the Super Speedway tracks !

    Austin Cendric hit the wall early and was out of the race...and that is gonna make things tough on him to stay in the Playoffs.
    Chase Briscoe looked real strong (as usual), but lost positions later in the race.
    "The illusion of freedom will continue for as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will take down the scenery, move the tables and chairs out of the way, then they will pull back the curtains and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater."
