Kenseth Avoids Final Lap Wreck, Wins at Talladega
NASCAR’s Sprint Cup race at Talladega ended with a bang Sunday, the final race order being determined not by who was pushing for the lead, but by who managed to avoid a massive pile-up.
FOX News Radio’s recaps the Good Sam Roadside Assistance 500:
Tony Stewart takes responsibility for the pile-up, telling ESPN he was just trying to win.
(Stewart) “I just screwed up. �I turned down across, I think it was Michael, and crashed the whole field. �It was my fault, blocking to try to stay where I was at, so I take 100% of the blame.”
Stewart getting tangled with Michael Waltrip before going airborne sideways, being pushed on top of three different cars during the wreck. �He finishes 22nd and drops to seventh in the Chase.
Matt Kenseth is still last among Chase drivers, despite his win. �Brad Keselowski stretches his lead over Jimmie Johnson at the top to 14 points. �Jeff Gordon’s second-place finish, good for a four-place jump in the standings. �He’s now sixth, but 42 points back.
