David Slays Goliath

In the biggest upset since David Ragan won the night race at Daytona, David Ragan won the race that finished at night at Talladega. Thanks to a push from his Front Row Racing teammate David Gilliland, Ragan was able to hold off Carl Edwards, Michael Waltrip and Jimmie Johnson to take the checkered flag. It was the first victory for Front Row Racing and could perhaps lead to some new sponsors coming on board.

The race went into a three and a half hour rain delay with 65 laps remaining. When the race restarted, Carl Edwards held the lead. A late race crash brought out a caution and sent the race into overtime. Due to the impending darkness, NASCAR ruled that their would only be one attempt at a green, white, checkered finish. Going into the third turn, Ragan and Gilliland got hooked together and powered their way to the front. Edwards, Waltrip and Johnson said they didn't even see the duo coming towards the front. Ragan did have to put on the block a couple of times before cruising to the win.

Here are the points for the first week of segment 2 and the overall standings.
