Nobody can run away in a restrictor-plate race.
In fact, I'm sure you'll see a lead group get away a little bit and, the next thing you know, those guys in the next group have hooked up and caught them. That's just the way it is all day at Talladega and Daytona. You just need to avoid it. If you can, you are likely to have a good finish. Besides staying out of trouble, the key to a good finish at Talladega is staying with the pack by using the draft.
