To be honest, I'm not a fan of plate racing either, it's a complete lottery. But on the otherhand, if I just forget about all that and see it as some motor-tainment, I can enjoy a plate race.

I'm actually rather impressed by the drivers. Only one caution for an engine blowout, and everyone has pitted under green, which is a rarity in itself at an RP race. I really want Kurt Busch to win this in the Ricky Bobby car.. How cool would that be?!

More green flag stops with 46 laps to go. Many are dropping out with no fuel, and I believe some are trying to make the race on just 1 stop (Menard).
Oh... now we have a crash as I type.. The big one..

Man, what a shame. That was bound to happen while folk were running out of petrol while racing in the pack!
Now lets hope there are no more cautions, I'd love to see an RP race end without a G-W-C.

Well they all obviously needed a fill up! Can't the crew chiefs do some simple arithmetic?
Let's hope we get some more green flag running till the chequered flag.

Hardly. "Little big one," maybe, but not The Big One™.

Bad place to have a tyre blowout! Lucky there was no pile up.
Looks like folk are coming in to top up til the end.

Til the first crash anyway..

Haha. I dip in and out of it now and then. We get Nationwide races live on TV here, but not Cup races, so I fancied watching the Cup race today after the Nationwide race yesterday.

Yeah, almost a bit of an anti-climax by Talladega standards. No cars trying to exit through isle 6 this time. (thanks for that one Hindy)

Oh well... Brad Keselowski threw down a new move to break up the draft, and it worked perfectly.
I expect that finish to become the norm for a while until NASCAR "fixes" it.

The race to the finish would have been much better without the cautions, and as cautions tend to breed cautions, we lost a few contenders for the win.
Darlington next weekend. I like Darlington.

Darlington is indeed a unique track, one that is much different to Dega.
