As expected, the Pack was Back last week at Talladega.  And we all saw some serious Alabama Slammin’ in the NASCAR Sprint Cup (NSC) Aaron’s 499 at Talladega Super Speedway (TSS).  Only a few wrecks, but those few were pretty spectacular.  But in the end, it was Brad Keselowski outpacing Kyle Busch for the win in [...]
