The final lap at Talladega Superspeedway came down to another close finish, with Austin Cindric just barely beating Ryan Preece, who got later disqualified in post-race inspection, to the checkered flag.

Caleb Barnes and Trenton Worsham talk about the last lap, and whether or not making a move at the finish would have even worked.
The two also discuss racing etiquette, following a major Ross Chastain block and two slower cars running in front of the pack at the checkered flag.
Plus, is there any way to fix Next Gen superspeedway racing?
