Stick a fork in NASCAR's Good Sam's 500 at Talladega, this nightmare is over and Matt Kenseth wins while the final lap "The Big One" claims so many. Goodbye Talladega.

Let's be honest, much like my dinner of Chicken, Potatoes and carrots in the CrockPot, you can stick a fork in it, this Good Sam's 500 at Talladega Superspeedway is done with the nightmare of restrictor plate racing ending in "The Big One" that Tony Stewart took full responsibility for starting it.

Of course you have Matt Kenseth who took the checkered flag, but still done in the chase, Jeff Gordon who finished second, Kyle Busch finished third and beyond that, who knows. Its still all basically unofficial anyway.  

Two thing's for sure, first, Talladega has changed the chase and almost eliminated several drivers from there hopes of capturing a Sprint Cup Series Championship. And second, thank you that this nightmare style restrictor plate racing is finally over in 2012. Damn this racing is terrible. Sorry but I'm frustrated with this type of racing whether its pack racing, two-car tandem racing or a mix of the two like we have now. Goodbye.
