With no cautions, this was the fastest ran Winston 500 in history. It beat the old record set by Bill Elliott in 1986 by 50 seconds.
Although it was two weeks late getting started due to the weather.

Here they go.
After a two week delay
they are finally off and running!

A look from the air.
There were no cautions,
but this is a good overhead view of pit road!

Let that jack down and I am out of here!

Three wide
Three and four wide at 190+ m.p.h. is common at Talladega.

Celebration in the pits.
Its two wins in a row for these guys and its celebration time!

All these links should have some good action pictures.
