“Going to Be Wrecks Galore” – Who Said What on the Radio in the NASCAR Cup Series Race at Talladega

The NASCAR Cup Series race at Talladega Superspeedway delivered as promised. Talladega is known for its uncertainty since the equation changes in seconds. It happened last weekend as well, with as many as 13 cautions throughout the race.

The first 12 laps signaled what was to come, with three wrecks in no time. While NASCAR races usually witness a range of emotions over the team radios, Talladega saw a lot more heated comments from drivers and their teams.

‘Wrecks galore’ in the NASCAR Cup Series race at Talladega

Clint Bowyer tagged his in-form teammate Kevin Harvick and Harvick was not happy with Bowyer. “The 14 doesn’t have to worry about any help for the rest of the day,” Harvick said over the radio.

After observing everything going on around him, Kyle Busch predicted something that came true. “They keep pushing the way they are pushing, man. There’s going to be wrecks galore,” Busch said.

Busch was then involved in a multi-car wreck which caused heavy damage to his car. Soon, the front of his car just came apart, which prompted Tyler Reddick to say, “Did the 18 hit a banana or something? The front end is killed.”

Jimmie Johnson is furious with Clint Bowyer

The ‘Big One’ came soon after Bowyer tagged Jimmie Johnson, who turned and, as a result, hit Kurt Busch. Kurt flew and landed on top of two other cars before landing on his tires, in what was a horrific sight. Johnson was furious with Bowyer, to say the least.

“What the f*** is he thinking? That is the stupidest thing I have seen in my career. Literally!” quipped Johnson. Luckily for Kurt, he escaped from the crash, unscathed.

Witnessing it all, Harvick said, “Haven’t even finished the second stage yet and half the field is wrecked. Pretty much, right?”

“Good Ol’ Talladega”

The race eventually went into overtime, where another big wreck pulled in some of the big guys. Kyle Busch, Joey Logano, Harvick, and Martin Truex Jr. got caught. “Ugh, the front end is f*****g killed. Good ol’ Talladega,” Truex Jr. said.

The drama just did not end as the race went into a second overtime.

Another wreck that saw Bubba Wallace in the scheme of things took the race into triple overtime. The final lap and yellow line drama then occurred as Denny Hamlin just edged Matt DiBenedetto at the finish line.

“Keep putting yourself in position, we’ll win our share right?” said an excited Chris Gabehart, Hamlin’s Crew Chief.

Things could be as challenging, if not more, as the field now moves to the Charlotte Roval. It is the elimination race of the Round of 12.
