OK so seriously, is it even possible to avoid something like that when you have cars doing 180mph bumper to bumper, cheek to cheek? This is just high speed demolition derby.

I'm turnin' left!
Now go straight, and fast!
Roger, is this straight enough?!
Straighter!
Lets not kid ourselves though - every single person in the crowd was there to see exactly that happen.

As long as Jimmie Johnson crashed too then I'm happy.

Going 4-wide like that is bound to cause a wreck.
I thought some of the comments by the drivers were great:
"That's just Talladega. That's why we all come out and watch," "We need to shorten this race up because it's all waiting to see what happens right there at the end, anyway." – Clint Bowyer
“I can't even describe to you. ... I don't know how we made it to the white flag. Coming through that tri oval, being hit from behind, hitting the guy in front of me, you're san More..

i was talking to a guy in california once, he asked me what i liked to do when i'm in kentucky. i said i liked to go to the race track. he made a sour face and sniffed: 'oh, nascar'. i looked at him like he was the fool he was and said: 'no, thoroughbred.'

Brutal crash..I don't watch many NASCAR races but Talledega is a MUST WATCH
Glad to see Tony own up to it..guess he's getting mellow in his years
Carl Edwards in 2009 was by far the best individual crash there

That's way too many cars in contention on the last lap. There was little chance there would not be a pile up in that situation.

@TheMule It went on for 2 laps prior just like that, 4 wide.

@jfm8561 The crash happened in the last turn before the checkered flag where anyone with a shot to win will floor it and try to pass. If you've got more than a dozen cars in that position at the end of a race, then there is going to be a pile up, no doubt about it.

@TheMule Oh yeah, I was amazed it didn't happen sooner.
