On the final lap any one of four cars could have won and when the checkered flag flew it was a moment before anyone realized exactly who had won. But when the dust all settled a video review showed it was Jimmie Johnson who won the Aaron’s 499 at Talladega edging Clint Bowyer by 0.002 of a second – that’s less than a foot.
