Alan secured a fifth-place finish at Talladega after executing a bold maneuver late in the race. He came within inches of taking the lead; however, the pack split around him, forcing him to drop into the middle lane. Despite the tumultuous final lap, which ended in a dramatic wreck, Alan emerged unharmed and raced across the finish line in fifth.
The next highest-placed NASCAR Ford competitor was Ty Majeski, whose No. 98 F-150 finished in 12th position. Jason White’s No. 22 F-150 represented the only other Blue Oval entry to finish in the top 20.
“We had a fast truck, but we made a poor choice,” Majeski remarked. “I stepped out of line and ended up costing us some Stage 2 points. I’m not sure where we stand in the points now, but I suppose finishing 12th isn’t the worst outcome. We’ll move on to Homestead.”

Ben Rhodes retired after only 38 laps due to his No. 99 F-150 sustaining irreversible damage from a collision with Chase Purdy’s No. 77 Chevy Silverado RST. As a result, he was placed in 35th position.
Grant Enfinger, who drove the No. 9 Silverado, expertly defended his lead during the final lap, ultimately winning the race and earning an automatic spot in the Championship 4.
