Less than a week after turning 39 years old, Elliott Sadler gave himself a long-awaited birthday present by winning at Talladega Superspeedway for the first time in his career.

Sadler out-raced Chris Buescher over the last three laps and led a tight pack of 16 cars across the finish line to win the Aaron’s 312 NASCAR Nationwide Series race on Saturday. It was Sadler’s first victory at Talladega Superspeedway in 29 attempts (six in the Nationwide Series and 23 Sprint Cup Series races), even though he has had fast enough cars to start on the pole at the track five times.

Tom Hessert got a push from his teammate to propel him to the lead with three laps to go to score his first victory at Talladega.

Unpredictability is what fans expect of the high-banked racing action at Talladega Superspeedway since opening the gates in September 1969. Competition derailed by the ‘Big One, or by drivers’ concern about tire wear while approaching 200-mph on a 2.66-mile tri-oval rising from the Alabama countryside, looking like Daytona on steroids.  Continue reading →

So far in the 2014 ARCA season, it has been the same old song and dance for Grant Enfinger. The Alabama driver has won the first three races to start the season, becoming only the second driver to so do since Ramo Stott in 1970.
