There was much groaning and gnashing of teeth at the end of the Geico 500 Sunday.
By fans. By media. By team members. By nearly everyone watching the Sprint Cup race.
And the drivers hadn't even climbed from their cars yet.
That's what happens during almost every race at Talladega, where big crashes send cars flipping and rolling and wrecking, and drivers thank God they are alive or not injured after their cars slide on their roof and slam into the wall.
Sprint Cup races at Talladega, where horsepower-choking restrictor plates create packs of cars racing nose to tail and door to door, are like a ticking time bomb.
