Adding insult to flaming injury

Not only did Carl Edwards get nudged into a horrendous crash, while leading…on the final lap, but because of the configuration of Talladega, what could have been a top five finish ended up being a 24th place. On most tracks, the start finish line is in middle of the front stretch, but at Talladega, it’s past the exit of pit road. And no, it doesn’t count if you personal walk over the start finish line, you car has to pass it too.

The accident put an exclamation point on what was a crash filled day which began with a 13 car pile-up and included another major accident on lap 179.
