Brad Keselowski Wins at Talladega

WOW!!!!!! What a finish to a great race. I really had expected today's race to get really boring after having such an early BIG ONE. I was very wrong about that. I have to say that today's race was one of the most exciting I have seen in a while and what a finish. I thought yesterday's finish in the Nationwode race was one of the best but today's finish would prove to be the best. I still can't believe Bad Keselowski won the race. It had seemed that his car wasn't very fast most of the day since he about got ran over a couple times from going slow and appearing to be in the way. He did an awesome job of drafting with Mr. Ed Carl and pushing his way to the front. I was also impressed that Carl didn't blame Brad at all for what happened. He said it straight up that he didn't realize that Brad had gotten up that far beside him and since there is a standing rule that you can not go below the yellow line that Brad had to hold his position. I am still in awe over that finish. Congrats to Brad on his first sprint cup win. Congrats to David on getting his first win yesterday and Congrats to Jr. for a great finish and making it through a race without missing his pits. I can't wait for next week.Copy and paste link below to see a video of today's finish.

Brad Keselowski won his first Sprint Cup Series race Sunday after a dramatic final lap at Talladega Superspeedway when Carl Edwards' airborne car sailed into the fence near the finish line.
Seven fans were injured from debris that flew into the crowd, and Edwards warned that restrictor-plate racing is eventually going to kill someone.
Keselowski, racing in just his fifth career Cup race, hooked onto the rear of Edwards' bumper on the last lap to push him past Ryan Newman and Dale Earnhardt Jr. Once clear of them, Keselowski peeked around Edwards to make a move for the lead.
Edwards tried to block the move by darting low, but Keselowski was too close to his bumper and the contact sent Edwards sailing up the track. His spinning car shot over Newman's hood and into the safety fence on the frontstretch.
The fence swelled toward the race fans but held, and Edwards' car landed back on the track. Officials said none of the injuries to fans was life-threatening.
Dr. Bobby Lewis, Talladega's onsite physician, said two people in the crowd were airlifted from the track to avoid the heavy traffic. One woman had a possible broken jaw, Lewis said, and another had an undisclosed medical issue.
Edwards, who climbed from his crumpled race car and ran on foot across the finish line, railed against the racing style at Talladega and Daytona, the two tracks where horsepower-sapping restrictor plates are used.
"We'll race like this until we kill somebody," said Edwards, "then (NASCAR) will change it."
Restrictor plates are used to combat the high speeds at NASCAR's two fastest tracks, and the plates typically keep the field bunched tightly together. One wrong move by a driver can cause a massive accident.
In addition to Edwards' frightening flight into the fence, Sunday's race was also marred by a 13-car crash on the seventh lap and another 10-car accident with nine to go.
"Talladega is short for 'We're going to crash, we just don't know when,"' said Newman, the third-place finisher, who also recalled Matt Kenseth's fiery tumble in the Nationwide Series race on Saturday.
"We saw that two times this weekend, so maybe we need to look at things that keep the car down on the ground."
Earnhardt Jr., a five-time Talladega winner and seven-time winner of restrictor-plate races, finished second but echoed concerns about the racing style. Drivers dread it because so much is out of their control, but Earnhardt said it's loved by fans because of the element of danger.
"For years, we've had wrecks like this every time we've come to Talladega. Ever since the plate got here. And for years it was celebrated," he said. "The media celebrated it, the networks celebrated it, calling it 'The Big One' just trying to attract attention and bring people's attention to the race.
"So there's a responsibility with the media and the networks and the sanctioning body itself to come to their senses a little bit."
