TALLADEGA — Jamie McMurray said doesn’t he like just riding around. But he likes riding around with a banged-up car just even less. After wrecking seven laps in at Talladega Superspeedway in the spring race, he made a decision to suffer through whatever would make him better in Talladega races. As a result, he did a lot better — he won.

TALLADEGA — Mark Martin’s latest crash at Talladega Superspeedway left him a man of few words. He sounded nothing like a man who had just won the “lottery” in Sunday’s AMP Energy 500. He sounded like someone who had a typical Mark Martin day at Talladega, a day he predicted he would not have.
