2008 AMP Energy 500 At Talladega - Part 6 of 27

[dansing763]

Just look at 6:34. All of the cars are still running. That is what i miss the most about the old Nascar.

Kenny Wallace's explanation would probably be "I don't know what the hell happened..."

[jrfan07]

as much as jerry punch makes some questionable commentary his little "pun" about jimmie falling to the back at 5:31 was pretty amusing:)

[mikezap1800]

how many lead changes were there?

[NASCARWWEclubpenguin]

28 lead changes

[RACEFAN2448]

actually, in the whole race there were 64 lead changes among 28 drivers

[flyer2359]

Yeah and 11 cautions made it for the slowest Talladega race ever recorded in the history of Nascar AVG. Speed was 128MPH

[m140m]

Not quite, there were only 10 cautions and the average speed was 140mph.

[flyer2359]

well still 41 laps of cautions that's a lot!

[m140m]

True, we can thank Goodyear's lousy tires for that.

@m140m This wasn't a Goodyear problem - the Hoosier-shod ARCA cars blew a number of left rears during their race the previous Friday. Overall, though, Goodyear should not have any monopoly - Firestone and Hoosier need to be competing against Goodyear in NASCAR.
