MRN worked very hard calling the Talladega Cup race which was boring single-file running for long stretches interspersed with double file riding. It looked like logging laps for more than three-quarters of the event. They stayed single-file until the last minute then made a mad scramble and ended up with Kurt ‘KuBu’ Busch (45) and 23XI teammate Darrell ‘Bubba’ Wallace (23) in the wall. That ‘race’ sucked. I agree with Bunny – that was a boring race with a terrible finish. The Xfinity series race wasn’t great, but it was a lot better than the Cup race.
Nice weather at Talladega this weekend with highs around 80.
