TALLADEGA, Ala.—For the first time since July 7, 2007, Jamie McMurray found himself in the right place at the right time.
 
Jimmie Johnson, on the other hand, can’t seem to put himself in a wrong position—even when he thinks he has.
 
McMurray was at the front of the field in Sunday’s Amp Energy 500 at Talladega Superspeedway when the inevitable “big one,” a 13-car wreck off Turn 4, caused the sixth caution of the race and froze the running order with just more than one lap left. All McMurray had to do was complete the white flag lap to claim his first NASCAR Sprint Cup victory since he edged Kyle Busch by .005 seconds at Daytona in 2007.
