If last weekend’s race at Talladega was disappointing for fans and drivers, this weekend’s Dickies 500 was full of excitement from the drop of the green flag.
Entering this weekend’s race at Talladega Superspeedway, everyone knew Sunday’s (Nov. 2) AMP Energy 500 would be one of the wildest races of 2009.
In the end it was Virginia-native Denny Hamlin who was able to hold off Johnson on a green/white/checkered finish to score his third win of 2009.
