    Stewart finished 35th, suffering his first DNF of the season, and now is 279 out of first in the point standings. "Indeed, I was having trouble staying awake during the race ... I told Ryan Newman to wake me when it’s over, and he did, with flying colors. But it’s not surprising that a race that was a ‘sleeper’ was won by a sleeper." 9. Carl Edwards: Edwards led two laps and finished 14th at Talladega, avoiding the two late wrecks that littered the track and scrambled several fuel strategies. Full Article at Speedway Media

  3. Talladega races are interesting for the crashes ... and very little else. The race went smoothly until the end, then all hell broke loose. I was lucky to avoid those two big crashes. Usually, when I see two ‘big ones,’ I like to put myself right in the middle of them.
