As we close out the year, it's time to bathe in the warm glow of nostalgia and look back at some of the best races of the season. We continue with the most vicious wrecks of the year at Talladega, a race you'll be watching highlights from fifty years from now.
The setup: the Aaron's 499 in April. Talladega was being Talladega, and there were Big Ones aplenty throughout the race. And in the final lap, Carl Edwards came from out of nowhere to take the lead! And the young, fresh-faced rookie Brad Keselowski was following closely, looking to learn something from the crafty vet! Everybody would behave down the stretch, right? Right ... ?
This was the closest Edwards would come to victory all year. While you can debate whether Keselowski was to blame here, it would set the stage for some growing discontent with Jet Ski in the garage. Oh, and the Chase-altering wreck at the end of the second 'Dega race? Guess who was in the middle of that. And no, it wasn't Edwards.
