in monster mutt dalmatian. chad is thrilledto be back out while other less than experienced jack man, they'll have the tire changers,they're going to signal the jack man. in the meantime, the changer will hit that fifth.today, it's all about timing here on pit road, nce welch.>> busch has won 27 sprint cup series races but he has never won a points restrictor platerace. he smiled and said, yes, i want to check that box. well, he starts 18th but says hewants to race from the front so look for kurt busch and the 41 to be on the move early.>> in the 12 talladega races since his last win, he's only had two wrecks with finishesof 30 or worse. so if he doesn't qualify well, but he loves how it races. larry.>> it's a big old wide racetrack with lots
of places to pass. but it's still a constantbattle for track position. the way the crew chief can help the driver keep track position,not many tracks to pit road. now, here's our geico race analysis. 188 laps. 500 miles.pit road speed. 55 miles per hour. a few window 44 laps. to the rear of the field, remember,tony stewart, starting that 14 car, after ty dillon qualified it. as well as ryan newman,unapproved adjustments. >> all the jet driers were working a spotup high in turn number three. a little residual shower from a rain storm that's moved offto the east now and will not threaten us. it may not be the most physically demandingracetrack in nascar but mentally, this is another story.
[1:02:08 pm] >> the first time coming back to a restrictorplate track since daytona 500, running three and four wide, big pass, always trying tofigure out which lane's moving and you're worn out because you're worried about everybodyelse. definitely a different animal, it's one of the most mentally exhausting raceswe have all year long and won i really look forward to.>> does every driver look forward to starting this race or hopping in the plane to fly home?>> it's always a great feeling to be able to drive your car back in the truck all inone piece when this thing is over with. >> this is one of the most intense, as dennyhamlin said, mentally draining. it's also
a lot of fun when things are going right.the problem is, the chances of it going wrong are very high.>> when your head hurts, nothing works right, right?>> let's look at today's ford performance track facts. bill elliott, 29 years to theday of his son winning the pole for today's race. set nascar's all-time qualifying recordin a ford thunderbird here, 212.809 miles per hour. talladega's wear davey allison wonhis first career sprint cup race. that is the super stretch named for the alabama gangoriginally led by brett farmer, than bobby and doni allison. davey and clifford allisonand more. at the back of the field, number 14 tony stewart, ty dillon has his seat, hissetup, in the car. and at the first caution
flag, tony stewart will come in, still nursingthat back injury from january, and ty dylan will get in and relieve him. stewart knowsthat caution could come at lap one, it could come at lap 101. doesn't seem to be a lotof urgency in his situation. doesn't have a helmet on or anything. [1:04:11 pm] >> has to manage, just like these other drivers,is patience versus aggressiveness. to make sure he doesn't get too far behind this fieldbefore that change comes. >> the longest straightaways, the steepestbanking, the fastest track in nascar. unlike its sister track at daytona, the talladegastart/finish line is not in the middle of
this big looping trioval of what would bethe center of pit road. it's all the way down past the pit exit, toward turn one. that makesfor some really different finishes. >> it does. every time we come here, it'sa game changer. flags in the air. we're going racing. folks, boogety,ogety, boogety, let'sgo racing, boys! >>> boy, big gap opened by the 24. now herecomes the big push from the 20 on that side of kenseth. the 3's going to get caught inthe middle. >> this sucker already. how he should havestayed with the 24 -- >> i think that's a rookie mistake -->> i don't know if anyone's running with matt kenseth out there. they're thinking aboutit.
>> i think 39 should have stayed where hewas. i know he thought the 20 had the run on him.>> 20 comes down to the side draft off the three. matt kenseth trying to make somethinghappen. chase elliott leads the first lap. >> we didn't even make a lap and there werethree wide. >> just like daytona, chase elliott leapslap one. >> i think he was hoping to get both of histeammates lined up behind him so they can get in line, take off and control this race.but that's not exactly the way it end. [1:06:12 pm] >> the 3 and the 14 really jumped out thereto a nice little lead and that let the field
get a run on him. right now, i mean, the middlemay come in later, but right now, it's just not the place to be.>> by that 3 jumpping out there, it now opened up the opportunity for all three hendrickteammates to be there, one, two and three. didn't start off as a good plan, but it'sworked out pretty good. >> three wide in the back.>> you get right down on the guy's door. the 3 car gets right down on the door. on thestraightaway, you spread out, put room between you in the car you were drafting with. i thinkthis is where the urgency will come into play. while those up front like being single fileand in control of this race, those further on back, they need to get there. they knowthat they don't have the amount of time they
would typically have here at talladega becausethey know that rain is looming. >> i think on the straightaway, you want toseparate yourself from the car you're beside. in the turn, you want to get right down onthat guy's door. in the corners, if you can get on the right rear corner panel of thatcar that you're next to and dump the air over to the rear spoiler and inside that fenderwell, you're going to pull that car back. that's what we call the side draft. as youcome off the corner, you want to widen out and create a gap to keep that momentum goingfor yourself and hopefully keep dragging that car back that's beside you.>> it's an art. and it takes practice. i'm not real sure the three car did it exactlyright on the start of that race. blaney up
five positions from his 17th starting spot.chase elliott leads dale earnhardt jr. and jimmie johnson around talladega, matt.>> taking a page from joe gibbs racing game plan at daytona, he told jeff gordon on thepace lap that he wants to work more with his teammates. [1:08:14 pm] he told his spotter to position himself onthe spotter stand near eddie dehunt, the 24 team spotter, to help with that messaging.>> that spotter for the 24? >> i can be.>> i want to try to work together. just tell him.>> 10-4, i'll go tell him.
>> i find that fascinating, because if wego back to daytona, it wasn't that long ago, on the opening laps, dale jr. was in the exactsame position. they came through and he made a big move, got a big surge of momentum frombehind and made that pass on chase elliott and took the lead. he wanted to be in control.they saw what they did at daytona, how they dominated the race and won it.>> jamie. >> chase elliott leading the field. even thesame car that sat on the pole for the last five restrictor place races. remember, hewas caught up in the wreck in daytona. they told me that was a lesson they're glad theylearned because today they won't be as aggressive. they're going to take their time and theywant to finish the race. that is the goal.
so far, the 24 doing a great job.>> i'm seeing those teammates goof up already. the 18 started all the way back in 17 spot.he's already gained a bunch of places here. he's getting up there with his teammates.>> this goes right back to what we talked about. the 11, that's not the preferred line,but he knew he had the 17 behind him that more than likely would go with him. he madethat move. now gets to move back down to the 3 car and move with him.>> that's three toyotas in line. right behind the three chevrolets. matt kenseth, dennyhamlin and martin truex. joe gibbs cars are already teaming up, there's the 20, the 11,the 78, they're all getting together. >> you know, they don't qualify as well aswe've seen the hendrick cars or some other
chevrolets but, man, when they drop the greenflag, these cars are so fast. [1:10:18 pm] >> you can bring two kinds of cars in. a lowdrag car will go pretty big. a little battle here.>> somebody forgot to tell denny hamlin about the gibbs cars working together today.>> well, it's early. someone will remind him, i'm sure.>> maybe not the first time for the 11. >> johnson has lost the draft from his teammates.chase elliott and dale earnhardt jr. don't leave your seat and you won't miss a lap ofthe geico 500 on fox. thank you for dining with us. hope to see you again soon. whoa,whoa, i got this. just gotta get the check.

him. i think he's going to get back out infront, get another chance to keep blocking. emove from the bottom lane to the top lane.he's just listening to the spotter, looking in his mirror the whole time, trying to figureout which line is more organized to bring the momentum he can block. [1:14:22 pm] >> that 20 car is darn fast. he's got himselfup there to the front. i think everybody's trying to get behind him to push him.>> dale earnhardt jr. started third, he is back to 13th on the outside.>> well, you know, and this is where you question how working with your teammates can benefityou or how sometimes they can hurt you. i
think he's trying to do the right thing bybeing behind chase elliott at the start and working with him. now it's cost him some spots.guarantee he's questioning that. >> where did he come from? it's kevin harvickand the 4. >> that wasn't four tires.>> harvick all the way up from 27th at the start. he did not qualify well. they were1 of 6 drivers who skipped final practice friday. that car's fast.>> you see that move right there? now he's going to get a run. and then 11, decided totry to go inside the 20. >> denny's going to have to get up there andwork with that 20 car a little bit. they're getting lined up here. getting teammates linedup. looking pretty good. those two have quite
a history. hamlin made the move. and tookthe race from kenseth. >> did you see who made that move on the outside?dale jr. in that third lane at the top. he's bringing that whole line right with him. whenthey bottle it up, this is where he's so good, he knows how to keep the momentum, get themomentum, get the push from behind and take it all the way to the front. a great, greatmove. >> i'm never really sure what he's doing.i always know he's got something on his mind. he's working on something. thinking ahead.he's always thinking ahead. >> the three and the four lined up.>> the 88 in blue and silver. earnhardt. now jimmie johnson comes up.>> two inside.
>> the 48 gives him a tow and then drops backdown. >> he's just thinking the same thing of hisdad when i wassed against him, and i know you did too, d.w., thinking, can he see theair? [1:16:28 pm] amazing how they know how to manipulate theair around him. imagine, you're on pit road and you're ty dillon thinking, i have to getin the middle of that? >> ty dillon ready to go from 0 to 100 whenthat first caution coming out. they're not counting on you just to ride around, ty, they'rewaiting for maximum points. what is it like standing here just waiting and watching?>> it's something different i've never done.
but it's different, you know, i'm trying tokind of race in my mind while i'm watching tony. said he's comfortable in the car soi'm just biding my time and mentally act like i'm in the car now and prepare to get in.it's going to be exciting here a little bit. >> as soon as the caution flag flies, we'llwatch the driver. >> that 24 is a strong, strong piece. it doesn'tmatter if somebody gets a run on him, he'll go home p high and come back around him.>> looks like here, he stuck four wide in the middle. johnson going backwards. got shuffledthere a little bit. now he's going to get back into the middle, three wide.>> below him is the 17 of ricky stenhouse. stenhouse started sixth. he went all the wayback to 30th. he's climbed all the way up
to 15.>> that's the beauty of the draft. that's the beauty of this track and these cars runtogether like this. you go back and forth, back and forth.>> matt kenseth leads the geico 500 from denny hamlin. pole sitter chase elliott, martintruex and kasey kahne. ♪♪ "lean on me" by telekinesis mcdonald'squarter pounder with cheese seared on our grill and made with 100% real beef with nopreservatives, fillers, or additives.

>> wow, how things change. four of the frontfive right now are those joe gibbs aligned toyotas.>> the two kinds of cars you can bring, what we call a swing car, a car with not a lotof downforce, really go fast by itself. then a car with more downforce built into it tomake the car handle better. i think that's what the gibbs secret is. i think those carshandle so well they can go anywhere they want to.>> david gilliland, his second start of the year. mcmurray.>> you can see the line try to form. as long as they're three-wide, the middle line oroutside lane where chase elliott is out, it never will be able to get to it the lead.if those cars can get in line, that outside
line will move. but three-wide, trying tomake moves, led by jamie mcmurray, but we've got a lot of good cars trying to make thatwork. >> we've been green flag all 22 laps. tonystewart is 38. he is right at the tail end of the lead lap. until that first cautionwhen he will climb out and ty dillon will get behind the wheel of the 14. if you'rewondering about the rule, the driver who takes the green flag is the driver of record nomatter what happens next, no matter who gets in the car, how many relief drivers, one dayin dover, there were five different cars try to get to the end of the race.

on the grill. i don't know why, but he usuallydoes. >> for one reason, he's out in front.>> dale jr. is not happy right now because this is not the position he likes to be in.lock those cars that are forming up behind him. and there's definitely some urgency withhim. and a lot of patience that he's going to have to really show right now because he'llget up there but it's going to take a while. >> he's the next to last car in the middlelane in 26, now 27. that's how fast things change at talladega. matt kenseth, your leader.ok, so the government crashed-tested the f-150. the one with the high-strength military-grade,aluminum-alloy body bolted to a high-strength steel frame. and guess what? it made the strongeststatement any truck can make. it pulled a

to the line with the lead. [1:29:18 pm] his dad, bill elliott, hall of famer. oneof the fastest ever to run here at talladega. >> we talked about how in daytona, he evenmentioned how he felt he made mistakes. i love watching the rookie driver and how helearn from those mistakes and how they involve. we've seen them putting impressive performancestogether. i love what i'm seeing today. >> it seeps like he's listening to his spottera lot better today than he did at daytona. those moves he's making are coming from upstairs.>> now, dale earnhardt jr. trying to get something going way up in the high groove. watch theblue and silver 88. going outside kurt busch.

the car on exit. that's where he's losinghis time. the car just too tight rolling off the corner.>> yeah, i just feel like i told jeff, i don't think it's something they can fix. somethingthey'll work on when they make some pit stops. that is not where he needs it to be rightnow. >> remember, this is from daytona, they rebuiltthis car. they're trying to get those right. if the splitter's touching on the exit, itwill make the car a little tighter.

[1:37:25 pm] big adjustment for the 88.>> elliott and almirola coming out together. jamie.>> tony stewart came in but he made a pit stop and he stayed behind the wheel. remember,they only wanted the drivers under caution to save as much time as possible. it willtake about a minute. tony's in here. he's happy. the car is good. waiting for that firstyellow flag before ty dillon gets his shot. >> chase elliott having coming out of thepits, he's not yet up to speed with everybody else. he just came off pit road.>> there seems to be a caution. this is the problem when you're in that number one pitstall. even if you have a great pit stop,
it's a huge difference in momentum, that linethat was already on the track. they just went right on by him.>> wow, i thought there was something wrong with that car. the way it was not able tocatch up with the other cars coming out of the pit.>> why it's so important to pit with a group and come often pit road with a group becausea draft means so much at speed here. >> pit penalties. trevor bayne, tony stewart,too fast exiting their pits, and the number 38 of landon cassill's team was over the walltoo soon. >> i don't know what's going on with 24 buthe's just falling back like there's a problem. >> i think it's because he's by himself. thosetwo groups were all built up together and
they just had so much momentum that he couldn'tkeep him behind him. >> kyle busch, your leader after pit stops.kenseth, truex, hamlin, all out front together. jamie.>> jeff, you're exactly right. being reported on the 4. the car is neutral. he simply lostthe draft and he's running by himself waiting for some teammate health.>> well, he's not exactly by himself. >> well, what happened is he came off pitroad by himself. these were six, seven cars. look at this, debris on the front. [1:39:27 pm] that's going to be a big problem.>> got to get that off.
>> that's a windshield tear off.>> about three or four inches. >> that will burn the engine up in a hurry.got the whole bottom covered up. >> kyle busch your leader. let's go back tothe contact on pit road. >> can see the 43p almirola.>> when you're pitting early on pit road, you need to get down as early as you can tomake sure no can get inside of you in that situation.>> brian scott's 44 to the list of teams over the wall too soon. and serving a pass-throughpenalty at pit road speed. kyle busch, martin truex, kenseth, hamlin out front. a bit greenflag pit row chaos on the first stop. this is the all-new 2016 chevy malibu. wow, it'snice. let's check it out. do any of you have

[1:43:31 pm] >> you know who's the best at getting to pitroad and getting off pt road, that guy right there.>> vince. >> you know to the 18, with that debris onthe front end of kyle busch's car, the spotter and the crew chief talking about the factthey don't believe that that debris is covering enough of the grill to be a major problemyet. obviously keeping a very close eye on the water temperatures. kyle said it wentup to 250. picked up 10 degrees right away. but since leveled off. keeping a close eyeon it obviously. >> that debris on the grill is not hurting,maybe helping a little bit.
>> things sure have changed since that roundof pit stops. >> yeah, let's take a look at our advancedauto parts pit performance. see right there. i'm seeing a lot of toyotas there. this isthe two lapsen cluding the pit stops right there. all of these drivers went with fourtires, four good year tires. you can see kyle busch right there, just a little bit behindhis teammate. i think the other thing that helped kyle busch and some of those toyotas,they were the first ones to pit road and there was only seven that came to pit road. pitroad was a lot clearer. >> getting half a second entering pit roadon the competition. to help get him out front. >> well, now, tony stewart, of course, thatpenalty is what got him in the position he's
in. tony stewart's getting ready to go downa lap right here. >> stewart. for being too fast exiting pitroad. along with trevor bayne on the first stop. that's his 14.>> the task of ty dillon just got greater. >> oh, yeah, yeah.>> we're seeing joey logano make some big moves out there. getting to the outside ofedwards. here goes kyle. by tony stewart. he got the debris off his nose with that path.>> you know what else, the job for tony stewart just got a little bit more difficult too becausehe's got to stay up with his pack. [1:45:34 pm] he doesn't have the luxury of riding behinda bunch of cars like he did earlier.
>> he has to be that last car, one lap down.>> tony's teammate kurt busch drops to the bottom. now right up against matt kenseth.and take a look at what happens to that piece of debris.>> yeah, there it went. >> trouble. caution flag. dale earnhardt jr.bringing out the first caution of the day. oh, said he lost it. teammate. first cautionof the day. that's a caution. dale earnhardt jr. would bring out the first yellow flag.let's look at the middle lane on the replay. on the right running nose to tail right here.got the 2 car to the outside. he's in an awkward position. this is just like what happenedat daytona. the car just comes around on him also gathers up teammate kasey kahne.>> let's ride along.
>> outside. on you tight. the 5's coming toyou. >> d.w., the 2 is on the outside of him. whenthe 2 came up, i think that took the rest of the air off the 88.>> i just felt like they were never comfortable with the car.>> matt. >> mike, he was tight on that first one. juniorsaid he felt like it made the car too free on the second. here's the result.>> when you put fuel in and tires, a lot of times these cars will start loser in a run.i think the adjustments they made, as well as the fuel, just made the car too loose atthe beginning of this run. [1:47:38 pm]
>> also getting some damage. that's his whiteand green car at the top of the screen behind danica patrick. and there's where dibenedettogot him and knocked into the wall. >> we see it every once in a while at daytona.we saw it with the 88 and the 24 at daytona. here at talladega, i'm shocked.>> last time i saw it was daytona. >> low, real low.>> good job. >> get big and watch this one.>> whoa. >> pit road is closed. we anticipate the driverchange for tony stewart. stewart gets the free pass. he's the first car one lap down.so he'll have to come around, make up that lap before he can pit and swap off for ty.>> one thing i do question, most everyone
that came to pit road changed four tires.they only put two tires on that 88 car. >> that's a great point, larry.>> that's david green. just walking past the camera shot. he's a nascar official. now he'sa former champion of the busch series. he's in charge of safety issues. he will be oneof two officials closely monitoring the driver swap between stewart and dillon.>> yes, he's got two brothers, they all raced, and of course david was -->> yes, i raced a lot with green in the busch car national series, now xfinity series, cupseries as well. looks to me he's reminding all those crew members of what they can andcan't do. >> pit road is not yet open. that's davidgilliland with damage as well. pitting early.
jamie, what's the plan on the 14?>> on the 14, nascar just told them, remember, you guys can't come in yet until you get thelucky dog wave around. ty dillon waving. the air hose. he just let him know the air hoseis now behind the seat so they'll have to look him up. [1:49:38 pm] they're expecting it to take about a minute.remember this isn't something tony really wants to do. he's just erring on the sideof caution. he doesn't want to get out of his own race car. but ty dillon is ready totake over and they will do that as soon as the wave around happens.>> tony said earlier this weekend, this is
the deal i made with the surgeon and the doctorsso i could run talladega, i'd get out of the car at the first opportunity.>> maybe also so they can run richmond. a lot of them in there maybe a week earlier.>> i know football players, they'll be well enough to play football but they don't wantto take a chance on injuring the injury they already have. just giving a little bit moretime for that back to heal. >> during the run of green flag pit stops,michael waltrip took over the lead. this is his 16th talladega start and the 34th timehe has led here. >> i'd say we may see a lot of fuel only andthat's when things really gets con jechted on pit road.>> pit road is now open. matt.
>> mike, larry mack touched on it. so closeto the last round of pit stops. you could see a variety of plans here. for kenseth,just a chassis adjustment and fuel, top him off. oh, contact on pit road. the 11 of hamlinand the 16 of biffle. >> wow.>> what is going on on pit road? >> larry told us exactly what was going tohappen. now they'll back him up, put tires. >> they might as well take advantage.>> it's when you do the unexpected. this is what happens.>> when there's this many cars on the lead lap, that pit road congested.>> at vance ought. advance auto parts race off pit road. five cars did not pit at thefront of the field.
>> bad timing. [1:51:38 pm] >> that wasn't as bad as i thought it was.>> so aric almirola, your race leader who did not pit.>> we saw everything that happened on that replay. we're going to show the replay. howclose is that to what happened at daytona? >> same thing. we just -- i think trying toput the nose in between the 19 and the 14 is a lot of air coming off both them cars.it just pins the nose real tight. the splitter was on the ground real bad the whole firstround and we took some rounds of the back and that made the car too loose in the corner.we just have to look at our adjustments different.
>> would four tires on that last stop havehelped? >> i don't know, you know. i don't think so.it gets loose. the car wasn't driving very well. it was on the split real bad. real,real bad in that run. and it just, you know, tight through the center on the splitter andit swings on exit. in the pack, middle of that air, no real downforce. just gets loose.>> thanks, dale. >> hendrick motorsports did not have a carfinish in the top ten at daytona. casey kahne's 13th was the best of the four. and dale earnhardtjr. is out early at talladega. diabetic nerve pain, these feet were the first in my familyto graduate from college and trained as a nurse. but i couldn't bear my diabetic nervepain any longer. so i talked to my doctor

with it here because handling is not nearas big an issue. cars getting loose into the corner. i'd be a little more careful aboutthat. >> if you take two out of the right, you needto take two out of the left or you'll get balance off.>> the hardest part is the window net because it has to be tight in order not to drag.>> when you have your helmet on and the hans device on, getting those belts and gettingthem latched it can also be very challenging. nobody can really fit in there to do thatfor you. >> kasey kahne's team hard at work in thegarage. looked like one of those talladega things, wrong place, wrong time. what it yousee there?
>> the 88 went left, then came back right.so i didn't really know exactly what happened. didn't have anywhere to go once he came backacross the track. so we were done at that point but we had a great chevrolet. i feltreally fast. it was kind of -- i got in with the gibbs guys. they stuck to their plan.they were doing a good job of it. then we were running. something happened on the pitstop. i don't think it was our team because our guys are as strong as can be on pit road.we were coming back through, had a good car.

a cell that's going to hit us and then goracing again possibly, then that's a whole different set of scenarios and you have tohave more patience. >> big racetrack, takes a long time to dryoff. >> those pop-up afternoon thunderstorms. thebig weather system is way west of birmingham and should not be a factor. these pop-up showerscan raise havoc on race day. >> i'm going to tell you, if we get to halfwayhere, you might want to see things heat up in a hurry if there is a big cell coming becauseit does take a long time to dry this track. >> i think the urgency is kicking in rightnow. i think everybody's worried about the weather. you never know down here, is it goingto rain, are we going to get going again?

to your temperatures.>> just get in behind somebody just for a second, it will pop right off of there. mayberight here. >> well what everybody's wondering, lap 94,24 laps away, larry, what about fuel miles? >> one of the days i love being in the broadcast booth. i think they can go further with that first time, but if you stay at 40 laps,with the 9 caution laps, i think they can go somewhere in the last 96 to 98, which isjust past the halfway point. >> 94 laps is halfway. we've just completedlap 70. >> look, these guys are racing, but they'rethree-wide. nobody's driving right now -- everybody's up there trying to get the lead, because theyjust don't know when that weather is going
to hit.>> if you've ever watched talladega races in the past and you have seen them go singlefile. they know they have to make it 500 miles. if there's a point they can relax and takeit easy and get to that point in the race, until they need to start battling it out.but they don't have that opportunity right now. that's why you're going to see this typeof racing all the way throughout this race. >> the good news for now is the rain cellthat is closest to the speedway is about five miles to the south and it's going to missus. so i think a good chance of making it at least to halfway.>> let's make sure we don't tell the drivers that. i love the racing. these guys are gettingafter it.

out. he took a little contact but it justscuffed the paint on the nose of the car. one they'll look back on and say, we got luckythere. >> he made contact with the 24 car and allthat. very minimal damage. very fortunate. >> he's been close to the lead but can't quiteget there. >> well, no one has pushed mcmurray. i'm notsaying he hasn't pushed a lot of people, but nobody's really gotten behind him and helpedhim. >> the 22 of logano. i promise you -- a littlebobble there in front of the 48. >> you got to tap dance a little. dance alittle. look at this. >> i mean, you'd think this is the last lapof the race, the way they're driving right

[2:33:38 pm] the bubble of air is behind him pushing himforward. as long as he can stay there, he can stay ahead of the bubble and stay outfront. >> how strong is the 3 car of dillon to makeit three wide to get to the outside of hamlin? when denny was outside the 2, they were sideby side. look how pushed him. if you look who's behind the 3, i believe it's ty dillonup there pushing him. i'm sorry, truex. i
get those two cars -- similar paint scheme.>> four laps to halfway. that is important because if it rains after halfway and therain -- it cannot be restarted, then the race would be official and the winner called asof the red flag. >> how long do we pit?>> within the next ten minutes. >> thank you.>> that's his spotter. >> making another big move here. going allthe way to the bottom. >> we know that 78's strong. he proved thatat daytona. >> just a few nkles here.>> they're saying it's possible -- >> lap 90.>> halfway.

[2:35:41 pm]
see how these cars are three wide. middle,middle. have to be concerned about the 2 car. if they get single file, there's going tobe a big surge coming at them. you're going to have to block that.>> two laps to halfway. halfway does not end the race in the event of rain but we mustget past halfway for the race to be official. >> we're only talking about halfway. lookat how these guys are racing each other. you'd think it's the last lap.>> it may be. >> if mother nature shows up.>> come on. >> we've seen come get back to two wide here.seeing big surges. look at that big burst of momentum that 24 got.>> almost touched martin truex. they come

[3:00:36 pm] >> so no three wins in a row for carl edwards.>> it's a tough call. you rely on what you feel. you rely on your past experience. yourely on your team, spotter, to tell you how bad that damage is so you can make the rightcall. unfortunately, they were not able to get to pit road in time.>> this is a typical talladega race today
with all these wrecks we've had. just unbelievable.hey, guys, we only ran seven laps and most drivers changed four tires but what this doesabsolutely puts you in being able to make this race until one more stop. i think we'llsee a lot of fuel only here of the drivers that come to pit road.>> yeah, that's probably a good strategy, larry, but i tell you, coming in giving mesome fuel, can i have four brand-new tires, please?>> looks like to me nobody wants fuel or tires. >> i think the pit road is closed right nowbut i just think track position. we've seen it play out. so important to be up front,not only to be in a position to lead this race but to stay out of trouble. i agree withlarry. i think they'll do whatever keeps them
on pit road the least amount of time but theyneed that fuel to make it on one more. >> yesterday, joey logano was the only carto take four tires and he drove himself right to the lead.>> 77 laps to go here at talladega. saturday, mlb on fs-1 is back with two monster gamesfeaturing some of baseball's best. it all starts with the rangers taking on the tigersand a game you can only see on fs-1. then the nationals head to wrigley to take on thecubs. action begins 12:30 eastern on fs-1. or watch it live on fox sports go. 17-5 rightnow, in first place. >> i thought we were blowing up for a secondwhen we shifted. i didn't have any help behind me.

guys up there that could be surprise winners.>> bayne is the race leader. harvick behind him. keselowski. busch, kenseth, bowyer.>> doesn't look like they're coming to me, not those leaders anyway.>> they're staying out, out front. 77 laps to go. carl edwards into dale earnhardt jr.to bring out the caution at lap 110.now more reliable than ever and i'm on a mission toprove it's the fastest. i'm traveling the country betting anyone and everyone that sprintis faster than their network. and guess who's winning? the guy with a trailer full of yourstuff. i bet my space suit for that slightly oversized jacket. come on. come on. sprintwins! that was fast! yeah, sprint's killing it. the sprint lte network is now more reliablethan ever. so why overpay for wireless? switch

roof flaps work. the airflow changes. thatrear spoiler almost lifts the car up. once the airflow and the pressure changes, thisone normally opens first and there's a channel that joins the two where the left one opensup and that's what spins that car back. because that boiler is your best friend going forward,it's you're worst enemy going backward. >> they certainly did their job right there.>> they did. i just feel a little concerned about the ones on buescher's car.>> i think it's just because he got hit so suddenly by the 46 that it just sent it upin the air. >> getting ready to go back to green. trevorbayne. who overcame a speeding penalty on the first pit stop of the day is the leader.harvick alongside ford versus chevrolet, green

[3:11:45 pm] >> down to the garage.>> you saw some damage on that corner. any idea?>> we're not sure what let go. the guys do a really good job of making sure the car issafe. so just something was wrong with it from that previous crash. i just have to thankeverybody for coming out here and i feel bad about tearing up dale's car. it's just somethinglet go. >> dale earnhardt jr. also down here. twotimes in one race. we have to stop meeting
like this. it looked like before that restart,were you having an issue with the steering wheel?>> yeah, it come off. luckily, it was under caution. i just grabbed the shaft, steeredthe car that way. i ripped the skin off my hand but i wasn't going to let it hit thewall. that was just a freak deal with the steering wheel. we're working on somethingto keep that from happening going forward. but that just -- we were just riding around.something broke in the 19 and he came up into us and, you know, we were just there chillingout having fun. >> tough day, thanks, dale.>> i once heard of a driver who had a steering wheel break and he had vice grips to steerwith but nothing like this.
>> jimmie johnson up in phoenix i think itwas -- >> i've never seen anything -- oh, my gosh.that is so scary. you know, i just really believe they've got to find -- you have topull that couple ler back to engage it and lock it on. we've got to find a way whereit goes on and locks on. it's the second time we've seen this. huge impact at phoenix earlierin the year during the qualifying run. that could have been really bad.>> it could have been. >> we saw what happened to jimmie johnsonin phoenix. pretty bad. >> i can't believe he was steering that withhis hand. >> it looked like something his dad woulddo.
>> you could only do that here though. couldn'tdo that anywhere else. pretty fortunate he was at talladega when it happened.

for him to be having this type of run todaysays a lot about his ability. >> chase elliott is 16th. denny hamlin is20th. or 18th, rather. a while ago, they were racing together at the front of the pack.now, they're midfield, matt. >> we documented earlier in the show abouthow chase elliott wanted to prove mistakes he made at daytona. make those successes.under a earlier caution this is conversation from the daytona 500 champion to his spotter.>> kind of a break there. looks the same way. not clear. not clear.>> yeah, so obviously, you know, he feels like chase elliott made an aggressive movethat could have been disastrous for both of them.>> he's made some really aggressive moves.
watch the two cars on the bottom last timearound. brad keselowski, 2. boom. >> key to that. this is the one that makesme nervous. he slowed his momentum down. he got to the left rear side of the bumper. whenyou can hit him hard on the right side of the bumper, you can't hit him on the leftside it will spin them out. >> that's what happened to michael. hit hardon the left side. sent him to the infield.

>> yeah, that's right, guys. trevor bayne,was an underdog that won the daytona 500. michael mcdowell said he wants to be the underdogthat wins at talladega. this track is the equalizer of sorts. it gives them their chance.this know it's their chance. he embraces the craziness of restrictor plate racing. he said,i like it, i'm confident, i know it's our opportunity, and i feel the pressure, theopportunity to capitalize on it. he's running in the top ten.>> in good shape right there. you're watching from aric almirola. that duct tape specialin front of him. that is danica patrick's car. got damaged early in the race.>> looks like martinsville than talladega. danica patrick be the most laps she's everled in a sprint cup race came right here at
talladega. the car is very good in pack racing.right now, she recovered from that pit road issue. she's just trying to get a couple differentpartners to work her way closer to the front. she's latched on to the 22 of logano.>> caution out for kasey kahne who returned to the track after getting damaged in daleearnhardt's spin earlier. not a good idea to go in the garage, fix your car and comeback out, not today. we'll see this from way off in the distance. kahne's car down lowon the racetrack. >> here he comes.>> i'm not so sure he didn't just come off pit road. was he out there riding around fora while? obviously, something broke. maybe in the suspension. just turned right.>> i don't think that right front tire -- you
can see how that wheel's kicked out there.>> you know, you never want to have to fix a car to go back out and run around laps tomake up points or maintain as many points as possible. [3:22:02 pm] but certainly the last thing you want is forsomething to happen that was not completely fixed or improperly attacked.>> kahne said on the radio he was shifting the car and it just veered right into thewall. >> i just hope he had the steering wheel on.>> yes. >> no kidding.>> you're right, we've seen that now twice
from hendrick cars this season.>> that team is really starting to get momentum. seemed like the last couple of weeks, theystarted to get the thing together. too bad it kind of comes to a halt today.>> yeah, coming off their best finish of the season, fourth at richmond. fifth cautionflag of the day. and pit road will be open this time. tell you, trevor bayne's done agreat job of leading this race. >> this caution comes at an interesting time.no matter what, everybody's going to have to make it, one more stop. i would say, consideringit's been 25 to 30 laps, at least two tires, fill it up with fuel, then you know you'regood to go for one more stop. >> do you do four here and then two or nonelater?
>> i don't think four would be a bad idea.like i said at the top of the show, fight for track position. chris.>> kevin harvick's small adjustments all day long. his crew chief tried to lower the backend of the car. wasn't the way harvick liked it so they pulled it on the last stop. thatcar did balance now. working on the left side tires.>> for kyle busch, it's going to be two tired. denny hamlin's had a problem on pit road.as far as kurt busch is concerned, they'll put four on the 41 after he took right sidesonly on the last stop. >> and the 11 car.>> trevor bayne, good stop for roush fenway. two tires. wons the race off pit road. kylelarson no tires, picked up seven spots. again,
we have issues on pit road.

[3:34:34 pm] might be just enough.>> shocked to hear kasey kahne say he just lost it there.>> trevor bayne's been in the top five for 36 laps today. that's more laps he's run inthe top five, jamie. >> he's happy up there. keeps telling histeam what he's doing and what his plan is. they said, just focus, you're doing great.he also said the car's driving really good
out front. they took right sides and one canof fuel. >> kyle larson just became the 16th differentleader of this race. 42 gets down on the 6 and then swings out. trying to get a littleside grip but it's not working. >> kyle larson, somebody we haven't talkedabout enough, he's such a talented race car driver but he's not had the type of seasonwe were hoping he would have. this is a great opportunity for him to take advantage of nowbeing in the series for a couple of years, having experience on these types of racetracksand having a great, you know, position on the track right now to get that first win.>> think it's just classic though how he's using the side, goes down in the corner, swingsout here on the straightaway, trying to get
that burst of speed. watch when he gets backto the corner. right down on that door, right there. trying to get that push.>> the 2 and the 4 are pushing. that actually is going to break. keselowski made too muchtalent. i was just getting ready to say the inside lane's formed up a little better. herecomes the outside lane. >> guys, kyle larson got up there. they pittedon that caution at lap 112. i thought more drivers would pit. that allowed them to dofuel only, the last stop. >> he gained seven spots on pit road.>> a great run going by the 42 of larson. [3:36:36 pm] good pit on the restrictor plate lap. rightnow, the car just too free.
>> the 48 on the restart, he jumped threewide, right away. and it looked like it was really not going to work out for him. thatoutside lane has been forming. he's coming to the front.>> look at that thing go. >> whoa.>> the 22 of logano has gotten to the back of the 1 of mcmurray.>> you know who sees this 48 coming? kyle busch.>> larson, he sees it too. this is going to help mcmurray in the middle.>> it's just a game of -- cat and mouse. move here, go here. your second guess. a guy that'ssecond guessing a guy. i'm telling you. >> that is the best line, d.w., i've heardin a long time.
>> larson uses the side draft to lead anotherlap. there are 49 to go at talladega. they are three-wide at the front. ok, so the governmentcrashed-tested the f-150. the one with the high-strength military-grade, aluminum-alloybody bolted to a high-strength steel frame. and guess what? it made the strongest statementany truck can make. it pulled a 5-star safety they mean: "battle tested." this is the fordf-150. and every other truck is history. i was shaped by the hands of legacy. forgedin the fires of racing. the truth is- what you're made of... is what you're made to do.people know me as dale earnhardt jr., racecar driver.

fighting for the lead.>> it also favors the big one. and i think larson and bayne might be the only ones comfortableright now because behind them, watch out, it is out of control back there.>> that is a swarm. right in the middle of it, the yellow 22 ford of joey logano. jamie.>> the word to describe joey logano this weekend is resilient. yesterday, we saw him get penaltiesin the xfinity series. [3:40:56 pm] and then he suffered the hardest hit of hiscareer. he had damage earlier when he got into the 48. they fixed it and now he's sittingexactly where he wants to be, top ten. >> there's nobody out there that has morecars than he has. anybody he gets behind,
he's going to give them a shove. right nextto him at 41 of kurt busch. another very aggressive driver, vince.>> jeff gordon was talking about the swarm. kurt told me before the race he wants to stayout of that exact area. he said, i want to avoid 4 through 10 because that's where itall seems to get bottled up and people get impatient. he said, i want to be in frontof that group. on the last pit stop, they had to take four tires. that put him backin the middle of it. >> that's the eye of the storm. you get inthe eye of the storm, most likely, you're going to get caught up in something.>> here's somebody trying to break out of the eye of the storm, the 20 of matt kenseth.he haven't heard from him in a little while
but here he comes.>> that car is fast, superfast. he's going to get to the outside. got to go the longway around though. >> whoa, squeezed his way in. here comes thetwo car of keselowski on the outside with a nice run!>> chevy, toyota, ford, right across that front row.>> nobody gives it up easy. that 42 car fighting right back. keselowski coming on the outside.in the 2. bringing kyle busch, jimmie johnson and way to the outside, martin truex. gottired of following so he's going to make something happen on his own.>> a nice move for the 78 of truex. >> that was a big move right there. look atthis move. that one car. he's another guy
who has been doing a lot of pushing.>> mcmurray, very happy with the race car today. that car was a edgy but he's very comfortablewith it. [3:43:00 pm] he had a great car back at daytona but raninto some debris there. they had to build a new one here this weekend and it's workingwell for them. right now, seven laps short on fuel.>> kyle larson, the 42, jamie mcmurray in the 1 for chip ganassi, fourth and fifth.>> would i be concerned if i'm matt kenseth, that's too far out there. if anybody breaksfree behind then, they're going to get a big run and go right by them. you see johnsonfour wide on the outside.
>> 44 behind you.>> 4 by 4. two rows deep. look at him moving around. just all over the place. nobody'sstaying in the same lines. a lot of that is just the nature of the beast. the air movesthese cars around a lot more than you realize. >> oh, man. i feel you, d.w.>> oh, boy. >> trying to take a breath up here.>> well, you could be up here or you could be out there.>> i like where i'm at. this is the best seat in the house.>> got that right. you have to drive all these cars. of course matt kenseth is not in a badplace. >> no. leading is good. that 20 car, he'sshown a lot of speed today.
>> they're still 4 by 4, two rows deep, fourabreast. >> how long can they go on?>> not very long. like i always like to say, nfl, not for long. smith getting a big pushfrom mcdowell. >> right up the middle. love to see thosesingle car teams work their way to the front. >> bowyer is sort of the odd man out there.>> with ryan blaney, another rookie. matt. >> a year ago, that finish gave him and theteam a lot of confidence. they try to build on that momentum. the spotter is a formerprofessional golfer. spent four years on the tour. both of them, it's really tough to geta rise out of them.

have no control over your car at that point.>> when you're coming up to speed here, you're working through the gears, it's not as badas once we get -- [3:55:13 pm] >> i agree. keselowski giving a big shoveto the 6. get him side by side with kenseth. maybe the lead.>> are you kidding me? >> trevor bayne.>> look at that. he just drove up there and went around the 20.>> keselowski is one of his best friends today. >> now the penske team.>> the 2 and the 22. >> these guy p fords, the 6 and the 2. man,they can get runs. the 48 and the 22. they
were on each other.>> just bumping, shoving that car out in front of him.>> getting it on right there for a second. jimmie johnson had 48.>> the 28th place car is less than one second behind.>> look at how tightly packed they are. >> beautiful thing until something goes wrong.>> how fast they're going, all running together like they do, just amazing.>> lots of momentum right there. >> up top, here comes the 27 of paul menardwho early in the race was in a pit road incident with danica patrick. he has surged back tothe front. >> just got in the front in the 2 car. hewas fast in front. he really knows how to
work all three lanes.>> greg biffle. all trying to claw their way to the front. three wide. way up to the outside. [3:57:15 pm] bobonte.>> this is where aggressiveness will really come into play. i know we still have 30 lapstore go. when they're 3 by 3 by 3 like that, that keeps then in check. but if you're aggressiveenough. maybe get two of you to do it. you can break out of that line.>> oh, four wide, harvick. >> 18 was below the yellow line. they're goinginto three. wide into mcdowell i believe it is on the outside. they're still four wide.>> that was aggressive. really aggressive.
>> four wide, two rows deep. hamlin comingup on bowyer. patrick just in front. >> we're getting down to the desperate hours,boys. >> again.>> you can just see. not only going from one lane to the other, flirting with that yellowline. bumpers starting to hit one another. >> let's show you that. watch the 18.>> right there. >> yeah. i mean, that's questionable. it'squestionable whether they ran them down there. he went below there to make that pass.>> nascar is reviewing it. the rule is you cannot go below the double yellow line toadvance your position. >> tell you one thing, the dominance we sawat daytona with the toyotas, son of a gun,
if we're not seeing it today with these fords.look at that, 2, 22 and 6. >> keselowski's wide here.>> oh, into the wall! turn one. >> oh, it's going to be big!>> oh, huge wreck. >> everybody.>> they're still running into each other. >> 13 cars got away. everybody else is init. jimmie johnson was getting a push from kurt busch when that began. [3:59:19 pm] >> the 11, the 42. that's everybody.>> we've been talking about the aggressiveness, more pushing, trying to break free of thatthree wide.
>> 3 gets wrecked again.>> truex. now watch the first two cars in the middle lane. from our good year aerialcoverage. jimmie johnson and the 41 of kurt busch.>> here comes busch. gets side draft from the 27.>> got him in that left rear. >> doesn't take much.>> can't do it. >> you can do it a little bit in the cornerwhere the car's loaded up but on the straightaway, you got to be real careful. look like justas the 41 was getting there, the 48 moved just a little bit and that's all it took.that little bit of contact. >> you just cannot push on that left side.>> on board here. on the outside, 48. right
there. wow. great camera work. watch this.right up into paul menard. >> just gets a little bit in that corner.>> yeah, sort of like the 48 was turning a little bit to the right. the 41 was turninga little bit to the left. that little bit of contact.>> slight contact. >> what a shame. look at all those cars.>> you can see the hood flap coming up in the air on the 41. so you're also losing frontdownforce if you're the car behind. you're taking the air off the car in front of you.really lightens it up as well. then you make contact.>> here it is in real time. >> wow.>> into the wall.
>> more than 15 cars involved in turn one.>> we've had some crazy races here. and this is one of them. [4:01:19 pm] >> check up, check up, check up.>> oh. >> let's ride with ryan blaney.>> he might be okay. i think hamlin. we'll have to see if there is damage to the splitter.>> blaney's got some damage, definitely got rear damage on the 21.>> he must have had a lot of damage to the split.>> check up, check up, check up, check up. check up, come on, stay low, check up, checkup, check up.
>> there's the 11, the right front, just dugin. >> i'm not so sure anybody made it throughthis one. >> doesn't look like it. now got 17 campswith daniel. now got 17 cars with damage. and there may be more. here's jimmie johnson.>> i mean, come on, kurt, how far are you going to push me?>> yes, the car's destroyed. i mean, he just drove through me the whole front straightaway.>> now, prior to the crash, here's audio from kurt busch's side.>> this is the 48. i don't know where he is. i think there is a car in front of him.>> couldn't exactly make out -- >> no, not sure what he said.>> i heard a little bit about the car in front
of him maybe?>> i think he was talking about 48. >> the only thing i can think of is he's thinking,i can't see, i'm going to be aggressive, i'm going to push here.>> it's the perfect storm though, jeff. looked like the 48 was easing up to the right. kurtcaught him in the left bumper. that sent him straight into the wall.>> sounds like from jimmie johnson's audio this started a long way back where the 41was pushed all the way down the whole straightaway. you can see where they felt the gap as theycame out of the trioval. >> all the way back here, you see jimmy inthe middle lane, the 48. [4:03:19 pm]
this is the 27. and the 41 is the black car,kurt busch. >> not to him yet. okay, here he comes.>> no, he's working all over. >> kind of turned him a little loose. hadto back off through him. >> here he comes again. boom, and then thattime. see, when he hit him that first time, it just made jimmy have to go right a littlebit. it just turned him. that's just aggressive racing that we see here at talladega. if you'regoing to make a move and push that car forward, that's what you have to do.>> kurt busch drives away. 17 cars are wrecked. >> as a former car owner, you know, i seea lot of dollar signs going the wrong way. out the door.>> keep it right here with 26 laps to go in
talladega. america, the sprint network isnow more reliable than ever and i'm on a mission if we don't win you over in 30 days, we'llrefund your money. [4:06:40 pm] >>> well, the first 17 cars were not involved.the next 17 were. after kurt busch send jimmie johnson into the frontstretch wall. johnson'sgone to the garage. 17 cars with minor to major damage from this one. 25 laps to go.let's get a race recap from chris. >> the wrecks which we always expect a bigone at talladega, we've had 28 cars involved in some kind of crash today. this is lap 96.seven cars involved. chris buescher will go flying through the air. amazingly, he wasokay. this was triggered by dillon and david
gilliland. dale earnhardt jr. had to drivewithout a steering wheel for part of the -- this was after he was caught up in a wreck. hewas wrecked out of the race with carl edwards going for his third straight. that's him asjunior and him collide. and then with just 28 laps to go here. remember, rain threateningso everybody pushing throughout the day. a huge wreck involving 17 camps. going, what,under 200 miles per hour. kurt busch, jimmie johnson. and it continues. we've already hadmore lead changes today, 35, than in the race last year. and it's the most lead changeswe've seen in any race so far this season. hope that all the drivers are okay. keselowskiand logano are your leaders with 24 to go. ♪♪♪♪ ♪♪

still have 25 cars on the lead lap. [4:10:48 pm] jimmie johnson not one of them. he's in thegarage area. as are kyle larson, ryan newman, regan smith, scott, hamlin, as a result ofthat crash. most everybody else made repairs and stayed on the lead lap. ryan blaney, onelap down. >> not as many as there was, but we stillgot some good ones. >> there were some that made a great job gettingthrough some of that. one of them is ty dillon. he was in the middle of that.>> we could well get a surprise winner here. matt kenseth, fourth, behind trevor bayne.joey logano, brad keselowski, the leader.
in the top ten, landon cassill, waltrip, bayne,dillon, patrick. here we go, green flag. the penske teammates fords out front.>> i think the aggresveness -- >> you think these guys say, we've had a lotof wrecks, we better take it easy? i think ramp it up.>> absolutely. it's go time, boys. >> well, you know, with the weather, the threatof the weather, that made it crazy and chaotic to get to halfway. now we're going to seewho will win this darn thing. >> joey logano out front. 21 to go. teammatebrad keselowski in second. with matt kenseth alongside in that yellow toyota.>> if you think because we had 17 caught up in that wreck before and the chaos is goingaway? no. it's not.
[4:12:48 pm] it's going to -- like you said, ramp up hereas we get closer to the end. >> you know, you're in this situation whereyou've been lucky all day so i'm just going to go for it now.>> still, you have 19 cars within one second of the leader. chase elliott, the pole sitter,way up high, trying to make a third lane work from 12th place.>> kind of fell back in the field. like we said there a minute ago, he missed that bigwreck. but hasn't been up near the front for a long time. a lot of battle scars on truex'snumber 78 but he can draft with them. >> you can take anything out there. as longas you can stay in the pack, you can keep
up, you can draft with them.>> it's amazing how these cars will keep up in the draft even with all that damage.>> caution, debris in turn two, not unexpected after a big crash.>> unfortunately, what comes along with that is a lot of debris flying off these cars.>> you go in the garage -- >> eighth caution flag of the day. debris,turn two, lap 169. >> i was going to say, that car's going tobe pretty loose. there's not much air getting to the rear spoiler.>> i don't know how it's staying afloat. >> might be really fast though. catching alot of air on that left rear quarter panel so that's not working for it. that's a lotof drag there. look, you don't see the rear
spoiler when you're looking at it. by theway, his 12th. that thing's about six inches shorter.>> look, it's not even running straight, it's running sideways. crazy.>> so joey logano leads for brad keselowski, matt kenseth. fox nascar coverage continuesnext week from the great plain. [4:14:57 pm] >>> the mother's day tradition continues.at kansas speedway. will it be moreominance? find out next saturday under the lights. coveragebegins at 7:00 p.m. eastern on fs-1. >> kansas, fs-1. of course, we'll have practiceand qualifying coverage there as well. 19 laps to go. big implications as to who mightwin this and punch their golden ticket.
>> there's a lot on the line here with thiswin. a lot of opportunities for -- you know, this could be their only opportunity, butat the same time, i believe joey logano has not won a race this year so he'll work hardto try to get this win and punch his ticket. >> last fall, that's the last time he's won.>> they're trying to get jimmie johnson back out there. the only drivers in the top sevenwho have won this year are keselowski and harvick.>> i'm guessing there's a slight disagreement on whether or not that car is supposed tobe out on the track. obviously they don't agree on whatever it is they're discussing.>> 16 spots available in the playoffs. edwards, johnson and kyle busch, two wins a piece.harvick, keselowski. the spots will be filled
by points. ryan newman, one point ahead ofallmendinger for the last chase spots but we anticipate quite a number of those spacesin yellow will fill in with race winners before we get back to richmond in september.>> yeah, i say that joey logano has a good shot here, even this car has got a littledamage, but he's still in it. [4:17:03 pm] >> the one that is standing out to me rightnow is trevor. he's not had the best of years this year. and, you know, is he going to winthis year to get himself in the chase? if he wins here today, because he obviously hasa very fast race car. led this race quite a bit. i mean this could be his moment toget himself in the chase this year. that would
be huge for them.>> sure would. >> 18 to go.>> let's not forget landon cassill back there in seventh. there's some potential for hugeupseptembers. >> a lot of contenders there. there's landoncassill in the 38. goodyear tires. to ce challenging conditions. we appreciate these overhead viewsbecause oftentimes there just aren't enough replay angles to sort out what happened here.>> landon cassill's crew chief donny wengo and his spotter, that's a potent little groupright there. yesterday, joey logano was leading elliot sadler on the final lap. they got together.logano hit the wall hard. that was the moment the caution came out. logano getting hit again.and even though young brennan pool was the
first car to the line, they went back to themoment of caution to decide the winner. on his 41st birthday, elliott sadler went tovictory lane in yesterday's xfinity race. logano trying to win this one. up againsthis roger penske ford teammate bradselowski for this restart.>> ford, toyota, ford, chevy, chevy. green flag.>> this is interesting, earlier, when the gibbs cars were one-two like this, they hada little game plan. [4:19:07 pm] put one of them out in front of the other.but the penske cars, maybe they're saying, hey, it's too late for that, we got to racehard, let's get this win.
>> i think it would be kind of cool if kensethin that 20 car got a little redemption today. he had the daytona 500 in sight and got ittaken away from him, finished 14th. >> behind him, harvick in the 4, busch inthe 41, the younger busch. our series champs in the 18 behind him. patrick in the top ten.landon cassill up to six. still anybody's race as they come to the line with 16 to go.>> think we're running at martinsville somewhere. all patched up, beat up, banged up.>> landon cassill had his great performance at martinsville shortest track. here he ison the biggest track for front row motorsports. >> we've seen this car and this team and landondo extremely well here at talladega so i'm not that surprised he's up there running likethis.
>> david ragan and gilliland, you know, twoyears ago, they went to victory lane. >> cassill's overcome a penalty for the firstpit stop for over the wall too soon. aric almirola right in the middle of things.>> he's a good crew chief. >> you know, mcdowell, right there, just ahead.>> looking at him. oh! >> how did kenseth get down there?>> how's he going to get back in? >> excuse me.>> he and logano must have had something. >> wow, again? those two have quite the history. [4:21:08 pm] >> matt give a little wave and "thank you"for letting me back in. pretty cool move there.
see what happened.>> they're four wide. >> watch the yellow, 22nd.>> yeah, he just ran. see. i'm going to tell you, the 22 forced him down there. they saythe rule is if you go down there yourself, you'll get a penalty. there's also a ruleif you get forced down there, they may penalize the person who forced you.>> no harm, no foul, everybody's back going again, no problem.>> right, you're not allowed to go below the double yellow line to advance your position.nascar ruled it kenseth was forced down. no penalty.>> the only penalty really was the 22 who was the one who forced him down there. he'sbeen shuffled pretty far back.
>> i think joey said whoa, that was almosta disaster. i've got to back this off. elliott sadler won on his first day yesterday. kylebusch's birthday is tomorrow. >> this is his 400th sprint cup series start.hoping to add his name to that list but on that particular move, when kenseth got outof shape, kyle went from seventh to second. so sometimes other's misfortune is your gainespecially at a place like talladega. >> he's aggressive, pushing the 4 car. there'sa good chance he's going to work his way back up there. there's a good chance he might seewhat happened on the last caution. >> 12 to go. and they come to the line.>> brad keselowski right where he wants to be. it's been fun listening to the spotter.
[4:23:11 pm] >> oh, got turned! and saves it. martin truexturned landon cassill going into turn one and they all got away with it. sorry, chris,go ahead. >> wow.>> whoa, they're not done yet. that was wild. he had enough room to do just that.>> remember, truex's car has a lot of damage on it. just wasn't quite clear of truex. therejust wasn't enough room. >> that's what you have to do. you have toget the momentum, take advantage of it. that's why we see big wrecks here in the closinglaps of these races. that was one we're fortunate didn't happen.>> took martin out of the lead draft. fords
at the front. keselowski and bayne. the chevysof kurt busch and jamie mcmurray. when they come back, it will be ten laps to go.>> well, it's about time for a -- the last ten spring races, the average lap, the lastcaution came out was lap 182. four overtimings. >> they're trying to live up to your list,my friend. >> the new overtime rules mean unlimited attemptsto get to the overtime line after what should be the final restart.>> keselowski is impressing me with the way he's controlling his racing, controlling thefield. >> he did an awesome job at it earlier inthe race. doing an awesome job here late in the race.
[4:25:11 pm] >> so if you're trevor bayne, do you havesomething for him or are you willing to settle for second? if i'm trevor bayne, i'm goingfor it. >> it's just how do you get the run and howdo you not make that move that you make turn into a 20th place finish?>> yeah, but he -- >> trevor bayne, he just needs a win. he'sgot his fast car. go for it. >> oh, he's going to go for it.>> the busch brothers side by side. kurt to the inside, 41. kenseth and mcmurray. loganoworking his way back up. blaney right along him. joey logano.>> gives logano a little help there. danica
patrick in the 10.>> look who's bumper to bumper. the 22 and the 20.>> watch those two little cars right there. >> danica, she's really aggressive. been doinga lot of pushing. >> don't worry about it now.>> yeah, 8 laps to go who cares. >> she'll last 8 more laps. i'll tell you,it's amazing, you give a guy a shot, he shoots it forward. stanley steamer.>> oh. >> and away she goes. into kenseth. up inthe air and into the wall hard. >> oh, man.>> i thought at it was going to catch there. >> he got the window net down right away.the 4 car, harvick.
>> danica climbs out. radio cord. disconnected.oh, boy. >> you just knew it was coming. [4:27:12 pm] you saw everybody pushing and shoving. thecars slipping and sliding around. >> i think he says just give me a push.>> matt was sixth. and danica walking over. well, you know what? she knows she can getfined. she's going all the way over against the wall. i'm not sure -- she's shaken upa little bit i think. matt climbs from his car. he's okay. couple of hard hits there.>> man, i'm telling you. >> i was so worried. just get up in the air,carrying towards that inside fence. i'm glad
it sat down when it did.>> yes. >> oh, man.>> flipped those cars over. tumble. hit the wall.>> i think this is going to be similar. her car hit the right rear. turned that car aroundthe opposite direction that we're used to seeing. that's what gets them upside down.>> she's right in the middle, the fifth car back.>> i think somebody makes contact. oh, mcdowell got her in the left rear. she hit him in theright front. and when that -- >> just got air underneath the car.>> is anybody left in this race? >> you'll see several things happen here.kenseth's car comes back down to earth.
>> a lot of teams are going to be freezingthose shots and look underneath this car when they leave here. not often you get to seewhat's underneath them. >> right behind the red 21. there's of threeof them. oh, ah. >> realize how powerful the wind is in thatsituation, to be able to take a car this weight, what, 3,000 pounds approximately, just pickit up in the air like it's a piece of paper. [4:29:21 pm] >> there's mcdowell into the 43p almirola.>> up goes kenseth. >> mercy.>> half back. half back. outside. next, we're going to ride with almirola.>> we got it guys.
>> kevin harvick ended up in the grass onthis one. >> danica came back and made contact withhim and put him into the grass. >> let's go out to the camera position. wecall him turtle. hopefully he got everything pulled in when they started heading for him.>> i guess it wasn't danica that got the force. another car that had silver on it.>> bobby labonte i think. >> yeah. i think you're right.>> there are six laps to go. there's turtle. terry still at his position inside the backstraightaway. there's his shot of matt kenseth's car being towed away. eric al mill rola anddanica patrick's next. >> where's the tooth fairy -- is it him ora her?
[4:31:24 pm] >> depends.>> tooth fairy. >> going to be five laps to go. they're goingto give them one to go. give a chance to listen to a little talladega radio remix.>> we didn't come here to ride around, we came here to win, okay, make it happen.>> yes, sir. >> watch him in your mirror.>> i was in the right place. >> hold the brakes, buddy. damn it. you okay?>> yeah, just lost it. >> [ muted ] happens.>> holy [ muted ]. i think he got hit from behind and then -- then got rolling.>> an unbelievable day at talladega.
>> matt kenseth just cannot catch a break.he performed so well this year. >> just wild and crazy. just guys runninginto each other. we're gonna go back racing. try to finish this thing.>> the green flag with four laps to go. >> we're going to have an overtime. it's goingto get crazy. >> a lot of damaged cars out there. 16 carson the lead lap. still cars being loaded. it will be easier to list the cars that havenot been involved. another caution before we get back to green.>> let's see what he's going to say about that. [4:33:26 pm]
>> hey, mike, it's c.w., you got me, buddy?>> this is pretty crazy out here. >> i've never seen anything like it, buddy.you're running 11th, you could probably win. >> i'm just going to try to hit every openhole but, man, it's crazy, i've never seen driving like this. bill elliott asked me ifi looked like i was getting out of the electric chair to go have some fun. it's been a nuttyday. led the race a bit. the guy behind me ran me over once. hope he don't decide todo that again. d.w., i'm just trying to pay the rent for the apartment over the pizzajoint here, racing for a living. >> i just hope you haven't peaked yet becausewe have five laps to go. put the pedal to the metal, brother.>> we're in talladega, ricky bobby, i'm-a

[4:35:27 pm] keselowski and busch. wild cards. rookie blaney.some proven quantities, kyle busch and bowyer. chase elliott. anybody can win.>> the real question, are we going to see another -- i don't think we're done yet.>> i don't think we are either. you've got keselowski, bayne. mcmurray, we know he'saggressive. we got a lot of cars up here. kyle busch. it ain't over.>> you don't think we're done with caution? >> i don't think so.>> i know we're not done with aggressive driving
and that's what brings out these cautions.>> no. >> now this will not be an overtime attempt.this restart will come with three laps to go.>> mcmurray's chevy. ryan blaney's ford. four fords lined up on the inside. restart, greenflag. >> keselowski took the outside this time.i think he likes his options out there. he can block. he can get to the inside.>> you've seen everybody else out there. >> 2 1/2 to go. don't touch that dial.>> 18's getting a big push. >> kurt busch, 0 for 60 on restrictor platetracks. >> pushing that 18 car.>> what impressed me right there was the 2 able to get a run and get to the
outside of kurt busch. shows you the strengthof that 2 car. he's strong, i know that. >> two to go.>> i just don't think he had enough help. [4:37:30 pm] >> here co comes mcmurray back up the middle.>> watch that 2 car. man, that thing accelerates. watch him.>> if it comes down to two cars side by side. the inside car is held by the yellow line.outside car can do the side draft straightaway. >> great block by the two of keselowski.>> here comes harvick, on the bottom. trying to come into play.>> the 18 gave the two the shot he needed. got him into the lead.>> we are coming to the right flag to get

for the job. right on.>>> one of the hardest hitting races we've seen all summer where the track hit back.it was a thrill ride that brad keselowski survived for his second win of the season.by the way, a.j. allmendinger released from the care center. you saw him shaken up momentsago. of the 40 cars in this race, 33 of them involved in a crash of some kind. these arethe winners through ten races. you'll see the double winners we talked about. austindillon in the 3 car wound up third and vince is standing by with him.>> austin dillon finishes third. you had a look at it there at the finish. what was thedifference ultimately? >> i don't know. probably the 15th pit stopwe went through. i'm so proud of our guys.
they worked their butts off. we've been focusedon going forward and trying not to panic. [4:53:33 pm] they did their job. what a run to the finish.our car probably wasn't good enough to really win the race but it was good enough to pushme all the way through three and four. but those cars are just too good for us at theend. want to thank chevrolet, american ethanol, dow. it's been so fun and to come home withthis and so much work they put into this car, it was wrecked and we finished third so i'mjust proud of these guys. >> unbelievable amount of damage. but austindillon somehow brings it home third. >> exciting finish for many, including jamiemcmurray in the 1 car. did you need to have
larson, your teammate, up helping to makea better push to the front? >> well, you don't really know what you need.when you get to the end of these, it's kind of every man for himself. the 18 gave me pushes.i just kept getting stalled out. all in all, a really good day. we had some adversity andgot torn up along with the 3 car. it's crazy, this type of racing, how you're not as dependenton the aero side of it. our team did a good job. i'm pretty happy.>> you look at your racing resume, you've got some under you. you had a funny conversationabout the ups and downs of plate racing. >> i told him -- he said, i kind of got luckythere, you know, we're talking about it. i said, let me tell you something. he said,i've never on the bad end of getting caught
up in the wreck. you have about two yearsof racing and you can't finish on these so take it today and be happy about it.>> fifth place finish for mcmurray. >> we had eight different wrecks inving 33of the cars in this race. the most leaders we have had in any race so far this season.jeff gordon, i know you're happy to be up there. it was still scary watching, wasn'tit? we're just glad it's over. a couple other bright spots. dillon brought stewart's carhome in seventh. [4:55:33 pm] landon cassill ended up in the top dozen.so many contenders and so much carnage. >> there's a reason why this is one of thefan favorites. racing is wild and crazy and
three wide. the wrecks are big and wild andcrazy as well. thank goodness for safety. nascar's implemented. because everyone haswalked away from these horrific looking crashes. not their favorite type of racing to be in.boy, is it entertaining. we're up here trying to catch our breath. i got to give a lot ofcredit to brad keselowski. how he maintained the lead, getting the lead back when he lostit from kurt busch at the end. >> the way this race played out validatedtony stewart's decision before we even came here. i'm going to start the race. and theni'm going to get out of the car, let my back heel.>> it's almost like he had a crystal ball. four big ones. not just one big one. tonymust have known someone because he could have
easily been in one of those wrecks. so congratulations.>> they put the right driver in there, till lone. that's going to help them get the top30 in points. >> quite a day.>> we're not done yet. moments ago, joey logano, you know the history with him and matt kenseth.kenseth, again, wrecking, saying joey bumped him out on the line. this is him saying andwarning logano after the race moments ago, you can interpret what he's saying when thefinger is pointed in the direction of joey logano. and this was earlier with 15 to go.kenseth was bumped on the line. when he got back in, he was involved in the wreck withpatrick, blaming joey logano for that. remember last year, he had the suspension. exactinga little revenge on him. chris neville is
standing by right now with joey logano.>> joey logano, right at the front for most of today. two hard hits two days in a row.good to see you're okay. i did see matt kenseth say a couple things to you. what did mattsay? >> not much. it's unfortunate. we had a decentcar. [4:57:34 pm] wouldn't say it's the fastest car. took usall day to get to the front but we positioned ourselves well at the end there. i guess itwas around 20 to go up there on the front row. what our shell pennzoil team did. weworked hard all day. unfortunately, didn't end up well. couple big hits. can't wait toget out of this race.
>> thanks, joey.>> we're going to kansas next week. where joey logano and matt kenseth have a history.and this was the last lap when brad keselowski won. we counted eight cars involved in thiscrash. again, from all the reports from those in the care center, the drivers are okay.danica patrick, who was shocken up, was fourth at one point in this race. chris neville caughtup with her. >> danica released from the care center. thatwas a really hard hit with the inside wall. are you okay?>> i mean, i'm okay. i got an x-ray so that was a concern. but just, you know, takinga deep breath and hit my foot pretty hard, hit my arm pretty hard. i hit the inside wallat the superspeedway i think maybe four times
now and that was the worst. these races arejust, you know, i get running close and i get pushing but, like, the 95 was drillingme, like turning it sideways every time. i mean, it's just -- high likelihood he couldtake himself out doing it. i'm all about bumping and pushing and being close but i think thatwhen you hit people with a certain amount of momentum, it's a problem. so, you know,i can't quite remember exactly what started it, but i just -- i know i got drilled frombehind and turned sideways and hello wall. >> good to see you're okay. thanks, danica.>> she was reporting to michael mcdowell in the 95. [4:59:34 pm]
allmendinger as we mentioned, in the 47 car,released from the care center and said to be okay. as okay as you can be. here, he lookslike he's in a lot of pain. after the grueling 500-mile race, run at a frantic pace, it wasa survival of the fittest and the fastest was brad keselowski. we'll have more on foxin a moment. the bud light party wasn't invited to the debates. but we don't need them. wehave debates of our own every night. a hotdog is a sandwich. over bud lights, of course.it's pronounced jif. you cannot outrun a zebra. here's to good natured civil debates. also,it's gif. thanks for coming today. how you doin'? well today's gonna be pretty easy.i want each of you to grab a 2x8 and cut it. you'll have 2 saws to choose from. a powersaw, or a handsaw. so which saw did you use?

of about three million people. when you turnon your water faucet, you just expect to see water: good, clean water. and that is whata lot of people on the lake are really trying to preserve.>> ken cotte: we work with the catawba riverkeepers. we do a lot of work with them. we're involvedin a program called river sweep, where we actually go out, we'll clean up the river.i mean, i think nowadays, people are more conscious of what they do and what they throwaway and how they get rid of things. >> ann danzi: there are seven dams and theywere mostly built by duke energy. [5:11:56 pm] and when the dam was built, and formed thelake, this area had rolling hills as you can

for people to pull their pontoon boats upand they can picnic there and it's just a beautiful, quiet area.>> ken cotte: it's very special here in the morning, when the sun rises. this morningwas very nice, had a lot of steam coming off the water. all the wildlife is still hereand they're not hiding. you can see the birds, you can see the turtles, you can see the fish,the osprey hunting, fishing. it's just really pretty down here.>> ann danzi: the osprey is kind of like a symbol of this lake. mount holly has a lotof parks and a lot of woods and the birds, they love it here. we have, of course, a lotof ducks, an awful lot of squirrels [chuckling]. the deer are still very plentiful. we're keepingtrack of the ecology, and as a result, we're
able to keep a lot of the wildlife.>> carl white, v/o: it's a beautiful area and one that also has a rich and colorfulhistory. >> ken cotte: it is really the first documentedcrossing of the catawba river, by charlotte. it was part of the tuckasegee trail and itwas used by indians and early white settlers alike. been used in the revolutionary war,transport troops across here, so there's a lot of history in this area. [5:14:01 pm] >> ann denzi: of course it's our major drinkingwater source, but in addition to that, it's a wonderful recreation source. several ofour parks are along the river and they were
planned with the river in mind, and of course,we're right across the river from the whitewater center.♪♪ ♪♪ >> carl white: the u.s. national whitewatercenter sits adjacent to the mount holly region of the catawba river. and as you can see,this is a great place to have a wonderful time.♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪[cheering] now, that's a lot of fun! ♪♪ ♪♪>> ken cotte: being able to come down with your family to mount holly, the ease of accessto the water, to come out and be able to go out on a boat, paddle or take a pontoon boatout and spend an hour or all day and go out

they'll be patient and look. if you standand patiently look toward the light, at this stick, you're going to say, "oh, my god, howdid they do that?" so you take a look, all right? and there's no naked ladies in there;don't get all excited. but there's only one way it'll work. a lady came in my office,with that stick, and said, "are you ken welborn?" i said, "yes, ma'am." "i understand you willbuy anything." [5:22:38 pm] i said, "with an opening like that, what yougot?" and one thing led to another and i bought that stick. i was amazed. inside there isa picture of a huge building, and it's on a lake, you can tell and it's got horses pullingcarriages. and on the lower end of it, it
says, "international exposition, fairmontpark, philadelphia, 1876." which is why i say, it's the neatest stick since the onemoses tossed down in front of pharaoh. >> carl white, v/o: ken's also a collectorof great stories. >> the big panel behind me is the controlpanel off the electric chair in raleigh, north carolina, called "old sparky." if you noticethe light blinking... all right, well, when they turn the switch, when the light stoppedblinking, they know he's dead and they cut it off. and there's not a word of that that'strue. but it's a great story to tell. actually, that's a control panel off a generating plantthat the american drew had for about 60 years. they made their own electricity at the plantthere at the end of this street. people come
in from the bait outside; looks a little bitlike an antique store. it's not much like a newspaper office, i got to admit. one ofthe things i learned early on though is that old newspapers are great sources of conversation.for example, they'd have to have a great big "alleged" in here now to keep it politicallycorrect. this one is called "the north wilkesboro hustler." everybody smiles when i say thatand look at this: "dr. sam's jury deadlocked." that is "the fugitive," dr. sam. this is theone the story was all about in the... on the tv and in the movies and stuff. here's anad from spainhour's, from 1931, you see. the local business history. "the yellow jacket."this is, this is from 1947. it had a nationwide circulation; r. don laws wrote it.it says, "our aim: to swat liars and leeches,
hypocrites & humbugs, demagogs & dastards."they didn't mince any words. this is my favorite newspaper in the whole place. "newsworld goesto war; be back soon." [5:24:39 pm] their employees joined the war effort andleft, and they never actually started publishing again. and in those days, you didn't go towar for a hitch; you went to war until you got through. i never intended to be doinganything i do for a living nowadays. but it seemed like all my life, one way or another,i been connected to the newspaper business. when i was 11, in 1960, i got a newspaperroute. best thing that ever happened to me; nearest thing to being an independent businessmanyou'll ever have. and if everything worked
well, i netted about six bucks a week, afteri paid my paper bill, six dollar and a half sometimes. and in 1960, cokes were a dime.candy bars were a nickel. a nickel candy bar big enough to pass around to your buddies.one morning i threw the paper to miss finley's house, and i heard the glass break.[sound of glass breaking] well when i got back home that day, i asked my dad "what shouldi do?" he said, "well, son, you got to fix it. after school's out today, go down andsee her, tell her you broke the window; she's going to know that when she find the paperin the front room," you know. and said, "just tell her to get it fixed and you'll pay thebill. that's all you can do. a piece of pane glass, that shouldn't cost you 50 cents. itshouldn't be a big deal." i walked over to
the counter, i said, "miss finley, i cameto pay for that window." she said, "fine," didn't smile. got out this big black pocketbookfrom underneath the counter there, and laid this piece of paper down and pushed it overto me. i just barely could look, read it good, and it said, "john v. barger constructioncompany. two men, finley house. glaze-in window. $22.50." in 1960. i didn't know what to do.i couldn't speak. i knew if i started talking, i'd start crying. you couldn't cry in frontof a girl; that's the code of the great unwashed up on henshaw street. didn't cry at allifyou could help yourself; certainly not in front of a girl. but i felt my lower lip quivering;you know how that is. i just, i was all to pieces. i was wiped out. this was gonna killme; i couldn't pay my paper bill monday. but
i'd promised i'd pay it, so i started countingmy money out. in no time, i was past any folding money. i was stacking up quarters for thislady. [5:26:40 pm] whole time, she just stood there glaring downat me, getting a little taller and a little sterner every time i'd look up. still afraidto speak because i could just, i knew i'd start crying. i finally got it all countedout, down to dimes, i got it counted out. and finally she spoke... and she said, "fine.if you're willing to pay to fix that window, so am i." and she pushed my money back tome, and wouldn't take a cent. and i learned a lesson from that lady, a life lesson i neverforgot, about kindness to somebody. and from
that day on, i didn't care how stern she was,i referred to her as "the angel on the second floor of spainhour's.">> carl white, v/o: when we come back, if you think the stuff ken has in his officeis impressive, just wait 'til you see the really incredible stuff he keeps at home.>> announcer: being a dad can be tough. >> no, no, no. what do you mean "she's notcoming?" >> when's the fairy princess coming?>> any minute now.
