NASCAR

This was one of the best things I watched this weekend. Talladega delivered in drama. The Big One got 6 of the Playoff Drivers. Two more Playoff Drivers would wreck before the checkered flag was flown. Brad Keselowski clinched a spot in the next round with a last turn go-ahead. Next week is the last race in this round of the playoffs, meaning 4 will not move on.

Race Results:

1. Brad Keselowski
2. Ryan Newman
3. Trevor Bayne
4. Joey Logano
5. Aric Amirola
