Even though we had to wait until Monday for the GEICO 500 at Talladega, the drivers of the NASCAR Cup Series have made the race worth the wait, putting on a incredible show.

After a weather delay ended stage one with Tyler Reddick out front, collecting his first NASCAR Cup Series stage win, Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. edged out Ryan Blaney in a photo finish to take the win in stage two.
