Gordon wins under caution at Talladega in chaotic finish
Jeff Gordon captures his 77th career win at Talladega Superspeedway after a late crash and a caution ending the Aaron's 499 in overtime.

Gordon started on the pole, led early, fell to 14th with 10 laps to go, then regained the lead just before a late caution.
