During the GEICO 500 at Talladega, multiple incidents occurred involving drivers spinning on pit road due to suspected water patches. Denny Hamlin and Corey LaJoie both experienced spins, with Hamlin noting the presence of water as a factor. LaJoie's incident was particularly dramatic as he finished the race on his car's side after flipping over and then rolling back onto his wheels. This occurred on the final lap, and despite the chaos, LaJoie managed to finish 18th. Zane Smith also faced difficulties, spinning on pit road and subsequently falling two laps behind, finishing last in 38th place.

Corey LaJoie's race ended with him doing a full rotation in the No. 7 Chevrolet. He and Austin Cindric compared it to a move from Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. He's just glad he slid past the start-finish line so he didn't have to run across like Carl Edwards. https://t.co/aihqyAEHAK
