David Ragan took the lead in the last turn of the final lap Saturday to win the Aaron’s 312 Nationwide Series race at Talladega, Ala.

Ryan Newman was attempting to hold off Dale Earnhardt Jr. during a green-white-checkered finish, but the two bumped coming out of turn four. Ragan moved outside of Earnhardt Jr. and then nudged Newman out of the way before beating him by 0.030 seconds. UPI.COM

“We’ve been waiting for this for a long time,” Ragan said. “I didn’t know if it would come this weekend or not. A lot of fun. A lot of emotions. We’ve got 500 miles to do it again tomorrow.”

Newman finished second, Logano was third. Tony Raines and Earnhardt rounded out the top five. Dailypress
