TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) — Brad Keselowski won his first Sprint Cup Series race Sunday after a dramatic final lap at Talladega Superspeedway when Carl Edwards’ airborne car sailed into the fence near the finish line. Edwards later warned that restrictor-plate racing is eventually going to kill someone. Keselowski, racing in just his fifth career Cup race, hooked onto the rear of Edwards’ bumper on the last lap to push him past Ryan Newman and Dale Earnhardt Jr. Once clear of them, Keselowski peeked around Edwards to make a move for the lead. Edwards tried to block the move by darting low, but Keselowski was too close to his bumper and the contact sent Edwards sailing up the track. His spinning car shot over Newman’s hood and into the safety fence near on the front stretch. The fence swelled toward the race fans but held, and Edwards’ car landed back on the track. He climbed from the crumpled metal and ran on foot across the finish line. “We’ll race like this until we kill somebody,” Edwards said afterward. “Then they will change it.” Edwards was referring to the high speeds at NASCAR’s fastest track, which are combated by horsepower-sapping restrictor plates. The plates typically keep the field bunched tightly together, and one wrong move by a driver can cause a massive accident.
I Was There On The Front Row Super Scary.
I didn’t see this live sadly, but I heard about it right after it happened. I never new those fences were so strong, lol.
thanks

@mortysand no, carl almost killed himself and folks in the granstands
carl edwards could have got killed right???????? PLEASE REPLY
BK almost killed two drivers and folks in the grandstand.
wow I can’t believe the fence held up!
also, fuck Brad Keselowski. He totally deserved what he got at atlanta last weekend. He needs to realize if he does shit like this to other drivers, he’s gonna get pay back.
i watched this live. crazy wreck.
tht is true!
Poor Edwards…I think it was Keselowski
I loved watching the crowd sway backwards in slow motion. lol
Fly away!

awesome drafting!

AGREED! Edwards was even on his way back down for a very very brief instant before the 39 and he made contact magnifying the wreck.
No shit……
This is a lot better commentary than ESPN/ABC
