Talladega Knights

Last Sunday in Aaron's 499, Brad Keselowski, Carl Edwards, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Ryan Newman figured in a spectacular finish in Talladega that has not been seen in recent memory.

I was hoping for Junior to finally win a race this season but his protege Brad Keselowski had other plans in mind when together with Carl Edwards overtook him with two laps to go.

Brad Keselowski then tried to pass Carl Edwards in the last lap but Edwards tried to block him. He then pushed, spun and passed Carl Edwards but in doing so, he and Ryan Newman "accidentally conspired" to send him flying into the air and crashed into the protective wall before landing on the race track with his racing car badly damaged.

Carl Edwards surviving the crash was not of pure luck alone but rather a testament of the Car of Today's safety which NASCAR pushed ahead despite protests from many drivers.

Keselowski went on to win the race with Junior finishing second.


Here's the video of the Big One that NASCAR fans are still talking about and will continue to talk about in months if not years to come.
