Because of the type of racing at Talladega and the inevitable high-speed wrecks, it has more than its fair share of first time winners. Kudos to Bubba Wallace for joining that group, as well as being the first black winner at the Cup level (for the Denny Hamlin/Michael Jordan team) - in many, many years.
