Should Have The Talladega Race Finished UnderThe Green?
You want the simple answer to this? No (can't get more simple than that). No, it should not have finished under green. NASCAR did the right thing in flying the yellow flag when they did. Wow, I'm agreeing with what NASCAR did, pinch me to see if I'm sleeping. NASCAR may...
