One-hundred eighty-eight laps around Talladega wound down into a two-car dash to the finish with Clint Bowyer crossing the line in the first spot.
I’ve long believed there are few ailments in our great sport of NASCAR that can’t be soothed by a trip to the iconic and venerable Martinsville Speedway.
2nd – Clint Bowyer’s worst finish in his last three starts at Talladega. He has been first, second and first in those races, respectively.
Well NASCAR’s plans to break up the tandem racing with a larger restrictor plate and lower pressure cooling systems didn’t work too well, did it?

Just as with any plate race, the finishing order was jumbled and the usual suspects didn’t dominate the proceedings at the front of the field at Talladega.
The feel-good story of the weekend unfolded on Saturday as a pair with a combined age of 106 dominated the Camping World Truck Series race.
What sweet vindication it has to be for Clint Bowyer to get Richard Childress his 100th career win as a car owner.
