Aaron's 499


What an awesome, yet scary finish to the spring race at Talladega. In the last 2 laps, Brad hooked onto the back of Carl Edwards and didn't let off his bumper. Ryan Newman and Dale Jr had broken away from the pack, and it looked as though Ryan was gonna win. Brad and Carl flew by Junebug and Ryan on the last lap and as Brad went to pass, Carl tried to block. However, Brad, knowing the rule about not passing under the yellow line, stayed in the line he was in, which (and contrary to popular belief this was not Brad's fault, both he and Carl admitted to that) turned Carl and sent his car airborne. Aside from that, Junior still finished second, and after having his post race interview, went to Victory Lane to congratulate his Nationwide driver on his first Sprint Cup victory. The 2nd place finish moves Dale Jr up to 14th points and I just saw he's scheduled to race the #09 in the race at Richmond this coming Saturday.

CONGRATS BRAD!!!!!!!!
