Talladega Cursed With Boredom Until Last 20 Laps

The day first starts with NASCAR Major Domo Mike Helton warning against all that has made Talladega, well, Talladega...

No bump drafting in the corners and single file restarts gets you that...

But, then, with five laps to go, Ryan Newman ends up upside down and crushing Kevin Harvick's hood on the way to rediscovering gravity. It took 13 minutes for safety teams to get the car righted and Newman really had to go to the bathroom badly.

Jamie Little caught up with Newman outside the Infield Care Center
Understandably, he was less than pleased...

Oh, by the way, Jamie McMurray ended an 86-race winless streak dating back to Daytona in 2007.
But not before another wreck at the end where Mark Martin flipped over himself...
He wanted to finish the race...
