Burton Tired of Being a Bridesmaid at NASCAR‘s Most Competitive Track 

One of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series most respected drivers – Jeff Burton – says he is ready for a little respect from NASCAR’s most competitive track – Talladega Superspeedway – during the Aaron’s 499 on May 5. Here Burton, known as “The Mayor” in NASCAR circles, tosses a bouquet of flowers in the trash, admitting he doesn’t plan on being a bridesmaid again at the 2.66-mile unpredictable track. A fan favorite, who will be featured as part of the Talladega Experience (NASCAR’s finest hospitality destination) on race morning, has five top-five finishes at Talladega, including a second place result in 2011 when he was edged at the finish line by then RCR teammate Clint Bowyer.

The most competitive racing in NASCAR combined with a mix of southern hospitality returns to Talladega Superspeedway May 3-5 for the Aaron’s Dream Weekend.  Experience the excitement as the superstars of NASCAR attempt to tackle the high-banks of ‘DEGA at 200 mph.  Secure your tickets at www.talladegasuperspeedway.com or by calling 877-Go2-DEGA.  This is more than a race…This is Talladega!

Another dominant performance by a driver left that driver in victory lane at the end of the day. In the last few races it has been guys like Jimmie Johnson and Kyle Busch, but today it was Matt Kenseth. Kenseth dominated the race and he held of Kasey Kahne for the victory. At Las Vegas earlier this season, Kenseth won the race by holding off Kahne and that’s what he did again today.

Kenseth started on top and ended on top. He won the pole and started the race by leading for a long period. While he was leading, his teammates were having some difficulties. Kyle Busch brought out the first caution when he spun off turn two and the fourth caution of the day came out by Elliott Sadler ,who was running for JGR today, when he spun in turn four and backed his car into the outside wall. More JGR trouble occurred when Busch spun again, but this time in turn four and when he slid down the track, Joey Logano plowed into his front end. A huge impact destroyed the noses of the two cars and the day for both Busch and Logano was finished. Continue reading
