Expect The Unexpected at Talladega

It was that time for NASCAR to yet again add three inches to the back bumper and and slap on the  restrictor plate because it was Talladega time. This was only the second official race at a Superspeedway  for the Impressive Gen 6 Car, and a lot was expected coming to a smother track the Daytona; and what we got was a lot better then Daytona. Although most of the day belonged to Matt Kenseth who led over 100 laps, the competition got a lot stiffer when the words "rain is coming" came a crossed the radio to the drivers. Suddenly this mellow single car pack started to move with the 48 of Jimmie Johnson going to the high side leaving his drafting partner Kenseth and taking the lead. Only a few laps later a two pack of Fords lead by Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and teammate Carl Edwards charged up right behind Johnson 48, and with a well executed draft and spotting, the two began to go low the shot up the track to retake the lead from Johnson. With just under 80laps to go Edwards pulled the same exact move going into turn one on teammate Stenhouse Jr. to become the leader by only a few thousandths as the caution flew for rain.
The race kept appearing to be over since it was past halfway but Thanks to NASCAR'S new Air Titan track drying system they were able to dry the track with darkness on the way. Racing resumed to normal until the final ten laps closed in and it all broke loose when the 78 of Kurt Busch was truned sideways down the backstretch with turning him upside down and causing another "Big One". The green flag flew on the first attempt at a Green, White, Checkered with Kenseth leading them to the green and Johnson pushing from behind in third, as the field took the white flag it was Carl Edwards who found himself in the lead followed by Kenseth, and Johnson, but as they entered turn one they all fanned out Johnson, Kenseth, and Almarola found themselves three wide for second exiting two, as they entered the back stretch Edwards and Kenseth were nose to tail first and second and three by three behind the when out of no where the Front Row Motorsports teammates of David Ragan and David Gilliland flew past Kenseth. Edwards saw them coming and dove in front but Gilliland's push to Ragan was to much for Edwards as Ragan took a commanding lead, as they went through the tri-oval it was all Ragan as Gilliland and Edwards battled for second and it was Gilliland who prevailed. Ragan captured the first ever win for Front Row Motorsports and with Gillilands second it made it a one two finish for the tiny team.
Talladega was as exciting as ever as the first and second place cars were seventh and eighth when the white flag dropped. The Gen 6 was very impressive in its second Superspeedway showing
