I was at an Applebees in Huntsville Alabama watching this race. My mother and I started jumping up and down when Johnson Wrecked because we were so happy. And the people sitting behind us were Johnson fans and they got up and left. HAHAHA! It was awesome
if you look at all these wrecks in the last 7 laps, travis kvapil in the 34 car had to miss every single one of them. they all happened right in front of him and he brought it home in one piece. hell of a job to a guy like most guys other than johnson, and jr, never gets any credit
@sturness04 You should probably take another look. At the 10:04 mark Harvick takes the lead above the yellow line. After that point, Kevin could go below the yellow considering he can't advance his position. McMurray even pushes Kevin down as they get to the line. It was a legal win, sorry to burst your bubble.
This was such a great race. It was very ironic how Harvick came from no where through the green-white-checkered attempts to beat McMurray, just as Jamie did to Harvick back in the Daytona 500.

@flyer2359 bull!!! i have been watching NASCAR since 1993, and i have only seen 2 races AS competitive and exciting as this one, 2001 Daytona 500 and the 2004 Aarons 499
@nascarsignore I've been watching it since 98', I just personally don't like the way the new car races and find it boring, thats just an opinion. I think you forgot a race as well :p, the 2000 Winston 500 xD.
@flyer2359 that too was nice. and yes the COT and the new nationwide car are slowly raping what NASCAR stands for. they are trying to make it more competitive, but are making the series more boring. except for the nationwide cars, maybe in 2011 Kyle Busch will only win. idk, 7 races? in the cup series, they just need a TIGHTER rule book, and yes TIGHTER. All these teams ( 48, 11, 18 ) are on the edge and know it. While other teams try to act accordingly. Pretty soon it'll be f1. 5 winners a year
Gordon could have not give when Jimmie blocked him and then send him flying off into turn 3 and wreck the whole field, but he did not! it coulda looked like Jimmie geting into Kurt Bush and wrecking the field or Dale Jr and Brian Vickers incident...
Johnson has become spoiled ever since he won the 4 championships, he expects everyone 2 race him like he is god. He doesn't reaspect that Gordon is the person that brought him into the sport. stupid
This was probably the most exciting Talladega race I ever witnesses. I've been a Nascar fan since 2004 and a longtime Tony Stewart fan and despite his poor finish I LOVED this race. If every talladega race is like this this track could become the no 1 track on the Nascar circut.
@romero2k fuck you. Jimmie Johnson ran Jeff Gordon off the track and wrecked Jeff Burton. He was going 10 mph slower than Jeff Gordon and 5 mph slower that Jeff Burton. Fuck. You.
This is some of the worst Restrictor Plate racing i have seen in my lifetime. No one can hold their position, no one can stay off of each other. This is truly random. The COT has Ruined what was one of the more exciting tracks nascar goes to. I remember when a guy used to be able to hold someone off for the win. Now its just a matter of luck and not skill to win at Dega. The Aero package is Garbage. Look at how racing was 5-10 years ago, much more fun to watch. This is just a circus.
@thekennady you sir are fucking retarded. This was the most competitive race in nascar history and you would find a bullshit reason to hate it. it had big wrecks, 3 G-W-C's, a photo finish and even a few interesting comments by Jeff Gordon
@thekennady i hate the cot but daytona and talladega restrictor plate racing is 10 times better today than 9 to 10 years ago. these races were boring when you couldn't pass for the lead and michael waltrip and dale jr won every race. just look at 2002 i believe there were only 12 lead changes in this race and you couldn't pass, only in 2000-01 season with the wicker on the roof of the car produced racing similar to this. plus the 2 car breakaway/slingshot puts it back into the drivers hand.
Trust me if j mac had enough gas and was good to montoya harvick wouldnt of had a chance to do that move but I kinda like harvick I have a reeses jacket lol
damn great finish, best talladega race in quite sometime. i thought that harvick was going to win the nationwide race, but mcmurray came down on bowyer and ruined the whole thing
EGR shouldve finished 1-2... i really thought they were going to run out of fuel... when they went into that 2nd GWC....i thought hamlin was going to win it , since he was the 1st car that pitted...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I missed the finish but before I even knew who won it, someone asked me who I thought would take it & i said either Johnson, Hamlin or Harvick. Should've put money on it, congrats to Harvick. If J-Mac hadn't screwed up the Nationwide deal, Harvick might have made it a two for two day. JGordon is done, don't blame Jimmie cause you've lost your edge, you just peaked at an early age...
@romero2k Gordon isn't even close to being washed up. He's been very unlucky this season so far; could have won 2-3 races if it wasn't for some poor decisions made by Kenseth and Johnson.
@Droops24 hell jimmie started that wreck am i right. i mean if jimmies dumbass didnt block jeff like that so wrecklessly then he wouldnt of backed up, jeff wouldnt have backed up and the cars wouldnt have been so bunched up.
@romero2k well ur right about how gordon peaked early and i no he isent as good as he once was but jimmie johnson right here just cost gordon a chance at a good finish cause he cant stand the fact that gordon is better than him right now and he has to wreck him to stop him from powning him
@romero2k Gordon has just been through bad adjustments of his car, causing him to lose the race, but i bet you that he has more to show, because Jimmie is bad with the Spoiler, and i can tell you that Gordon is beginning to show what he has, because he defeated Kyle Busch at the Subway Fresh Fit 500
Ive been a harvick fan since he won the 500 and this was amazing!!!! I keep telling myself in his very tough times in 09 to stay with him, nis time will come and here it is.
Dennis just flipped into the fence in the nationwide race. Like 10 other cars were extremly damaged. Thankfully they were all ok. Harvick almost won this won too.
This is Talladega. None of this 2 car bullshit
