Kyle Busch doesn't win!

 

He got wrecked?

Guess you could say that about Kenseth too, or the other 80% of the field.

 

That was an exciting Talladega race though, usually it's a snooze fest but the threat of rain made them drive hard the entire time. Good to see Keselowski get his 4th there, he's definitely becoming a great plate racer.

 

I wonder whom he will blame for this.

 

I actually had to rewind the Telecast after his interview because I didn't hear him blame anyone, or really complain up to his standards.

 

Deja-vu

 

That was nerve-wracking! I watched the in-car/bumper/roof cam on the #21 via NASCAR.com while listening to the MRN stream. Those cars were moving around like crazy all day long. The threat of that big weather cell west of the track was always looming. There was a very ominous feel to the track all day. I was getting anxious in those final 25 laps thinking something terrible was going to happen. We were watching the rear bumper cam of the #21 when that wreck happened. Matt was right there, then he was in the air. It was crazy! And then, Harvick drilling the wall and sliding across the line backwards!

Freaking nuts. Not the kind of stuff I hope for in plate races. But I'm sure it was entertaining for the fans. I look forward to a report from @thewarriordinghy .

Congrats to Brad; one of the few cars to finish without damage. Congrats to Chase Elliott who was buried on the last restart, but a conga line launched him into the top 5. Also, big ups to Ryan Blaney who rebounded from the second Big One and being a lap down, to bring it home damaged and in the top ten.

 

damn that place is awesome! Ty Dillon outdrove stewart in that ar, Austin had a fast car at the end, faster than brads, Waltrip got 12th, I saw all the wrecks, including the rail slide of kenseth. JR got everyone there pissed when he wrecked. I tell you, they charge for the whole seat at Talladega, but youll only need the edge. Saturday was crazy too, I was shocked matt tift ran so well. as far as camping goes, I only got 6 hours of sleep..... free camping! I had my dad drive the truck while I was in the bed flying my kyle busch flag and bowing for the fans lol, and for the haters I had a profane chant.... ill definantely be back! ohhh and the arca race was ok, but they definantely need a better aero package (4 cars fall back, all draft in a pack, but still cant even get close to the packs time, is kinda disappointing)

 

Funny that nobody had lug nut issues since they went back to the way it used to be....hmmm......imagine that!

 

The weight from the lugs caused all the wrecks.

 

Yes it did!

 

I figured A.J. Oftenwrecker would've caused more actually.

 

Nah, although Ty Dillon was stronger than Stewart and bowyer. The number 14 will soon be the the 10s running mate...

 

Still not sure why they hired Bowyer for that team. Don't get me wrong, he's a great guy, I'm sure he's a blast to hang out with, just not sure about his racing etiquette.

 

Just a few of the pics

 

Ty Dillon for the 14!!!!

 

I'm game! I think he raced in the truck series better than his brother.

 

His brother is good, but granddaddy needs to step up the equipment, TY drives real good in the 14 with SHR equipment, Austin would have a win by now with better equipment. Hell, Austin drove a zombie of a car to 3rd, and with one more lap he would have won

 

You see Truex's car at the end? Looks like they drug it out of the woods behind Whiskey River!!
