Okay, So Who Won At Talladega Saturday...

((HT: NASCAR on ESPN))

The HQ will just show you the video of the finish first and let you come up with an answer...


Initial crossing of the finish line gave it to Kasey Kahne, but NASCAR ruled that Regan Smith had the lead at the time of the caution from the wreck that happened behind all the leaders...

"I was thinking 'Man, I hope we got it," Smith admitted. "I'm pretty sure we got it when the flag came out and I saw the lights come on.' I knew we were ahead. I don't know if it's vindication, but I definitely wanted to win and it certainly wipes that bad memory away."

What Smith was referring to was this from 2008...


The race was delayed three hours by rain and slowed by seven cautions. NASCAR cut the race distance by 10 laps because of darkness.

And don't think there won't be more of this Sunday and that the speedway won't think about installing lights from this moment forward...

Gen 6 Gets Their First Big Wreck At Daytona

And it was at the end of the Nationwide race...

Evidence below...
((HT: NASCAR on ESPN))


Regan Smith was dancing with Brad Keselowski and, by the time it was over Kyle Larson went airborne and lost the entire front of his car. Larson, Michael Annett, and eight others were involved in the final lap wreck. There was a 13-car wreck that caused the green-white-checkered after the race had been red flagged..

Tony Stewart survived the melee and won the 300-miler...

Six fans are listed as injured, two of them are considered in critical condition and the damage to the grandstand came from Larson's engine and the fluids coming form other cars involved in the wreck

"The engine came right through the fence, injuring about six people," said a Daytona International Speedway supervisor, speaking under the condition of anonymity to yahoo!Sports.

Here's the NASCAR version of what went down..
