05/10/2008: Amp Energy 500 (Talladega - Nascar)
Tony Stewart was awarded a win after taking the checkered flag second … Jimmie Johnson padded his Chase lead on a largely awful day for him … and that barely touches on the chaos that reigned Sunday in the Amp Energy 500. Carl Edwards knocked himself and teammate Greg Biffle back in the standings by doing what he feared “the idiots” of restrictor-plate racing, as he said, would do. This time, “I was the one …” Edwards caused the bigger of two “big ones” — the massive pileups drivers consider inevitable at Talladega Superspeedway — with only 15 laps to go, and took out a total of six Chasers, including the driver who had the strongest car of the day, crowd favorite Dale Earnhardt Jr.
