The Carl Edwards Crash - Talladega 2009 - Final 3 laps - Aarons 499 - Huge Wreck

I was originally going to just post the final few laps of the race to see how positions shuffle on the last lap of a Talladega race, but was SHOCKED to see the result of the final front stretch of the last lap of the Aarons 499.

Brad Keselowski (09) bump drafted Carl Edwards (99) from 9th all the way to 1st into the final lap of the race. Then he began the battle for the lead himself with Edwards matching him move for move. Brad went high, Edwards blocked high. It's when Brad went to the inside that he got just enough of a run that when Edwards came down to block he caught the back end and sent Edwwards spinning. His back end became airborne just enough to allow room for Ryan Newman (39) to drive right underneath and send him spinning into the fence.

NASCAR's RaceView doesn't show any of this (and I wasn't even going to post this until someone had specifically asked me to) because the program wasn't designed for cars to become airborne and the impact must have made a mess of the telemetry sensor of the car. Edwards' 99 can be seen spinning, but actual track position is flawed as it appears other cars drive right through him and then he begins to move all over the front stretch.

Enjoy this as-it-happened video of the final 3 laps of the race.
