Just tuned in for the start of the race and was pleasantly surprised to see the stands full as well as a packed infield. Might just stick around and watch the entire race. Flag to flag to flag to checkered flag.
Go, Junior!

Darrell Waltrip just commented on the second lap that the cars looked like slot cars all lined up three wide.

Many of you here have met or even raced with Bobby Robinson from Glencoe, AL. Bobby works at the infield care center at most of NASCAR's races at Talladega.
And it looks like there are a few perks available to the medical staff...

The Monster Energy Girls are a marketing home run.

Congratulations to Ricky Stenhouse Jr. on his first Cup win. 
Good race and an exciting finish.

Those last few laps after everyone crashed was awesome. Stenhouse and Busch were going for it. Great finish and good to see the stands packed. NASCAR needed that one.

The picture was more interesting than the race, except as always for the last few laps.
