Brad Keselowski wins Talladega race; spectacular crashes pepper day

In the end, weather played a major role in Sunday's Sprint Cup race at Talladega. It wasn't rain, however; it was a storm of accidents that led to a victory for Brad Keselowski.

Fittingly, victory came as cars behind the winner smashed, bashed and crashed.

Keselowski got a strong push from Kyle Busch, which was fitting. Brother Kurt Busch had momentarily taken the lead from Trevor Bayne.

On a day of major crashes, surprises in the top 10 and a great run for Ty Dillon in place of starter Tony Stewart, Keselowski lead the race's late laps.
