Bump ban produces single-file Talladega

(AP Photo/Dale Davis)

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) To anyone watching, Sunday's race at Talladega Superspeedway looked like a high-speed protest of NASCAR's pre-race ban on bumping in turns.

Cars paraded around the 2.66-mile speedway in a long, single-file line after NASCAR made it clear that bump-drafting would not be tolerated.

"It wasn't like everybody was in their cars and we were like, 'Let's get single-file and prove a point' or 'Let's just follow each other,'" race-winner Jamie McMurray said. "You had to be in the outside groove because that's where all the momentum was."
