Collection Day at Talladega.

Gordon won by driving faster than everybody else and staying in front of the nasties. Jimmie Johnson crashed. Ryan Newman and Jason Leffler got collected in the Big One, and Jeff Burton hung in. 25 cars were collected in the Big One, and 6 more with 2 laps to go. I was cheering for Mikey Waltrip when he passed Jeff in the last 6 laps, but it was clear that Jeff had a really fast car and Mike wasn't going to be able to fend him off for long without help. Sure was fun to watch.
