WILD Finish At Talladega!

Posted: Updated:

TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) - A spectacular last-lap crash allowed Matt Kenseth to grab the checkered flag at Talladega Superspeedway. Defending NASCAR champion Tony Stewart triggered a 25-car pileup as he tried to protect the lead. His bid to block a long line of traffic on the last lap backfired, and his car was sent sailing through the air in a chaotic crash that collected 10 of the 12 title contenders.
    
Jeff Gordon finished second and Kyle Busch was third.
    
Points leader Brad Keselowski was seventh, increasing his advantage over Jimmie Johnson to 14 points.
