NASCAR on Monday tried to figure out why Kyle Busch's HANS device cracked during a spectacular crash at Talladega Superspeedway. The frustrated driver, meanwhile, was trying to make sense of two hard wrecks that ruined his weekend. Busch wrecked in Saturday's Busch Series event, when he was hit from behind and his car ended up on its roof before rolling several times through the grass. His HANS device, a NASCAR-mandated head-and-neck restraint system, cracked in the accident.

Jamie McMurray had yet another strong outing Sunday at Talladega. Gerrit Ritt includes him in his top fantasy performers.

Accept it, race fans: Dale Earnhardt and Jeff Gordon were buddies.

If fans can't police themselves, they shouldn't be allowed to take coolers with cans and bottles into racetracks, says Jeff Owens.

Breaking a tie with The Intimidator in Earnhardt Country wasn't easy. See and hear how Jeff Gordon did it.

Seven of the fastest 43 qualifiers didn't race at Talladega. Larry McReynolds says NASCAR should reconsider the top 35 rule.
