Carl Edwards flips into the retaining fence headed to the checkered flag. He was leading at the time, but when pressured for the lead, Carl attempted a block and was bumped by Brad Keselowski which sent him across the top of Ryan Newman's car and careening toward the fans. Luckily the retaining fence and all other safety measures worked very well and only seven people suffered minor injuries. This could have been much worse. Check around 4:18 to see the fence do its job. Amazing.
After the wreck, some other weird things happened. Carl emerged from his car, which was on fire, and ran across the finish line, a-la Ricky Bobby. Also, Keselowski's mentor, Dale Earnhardt, Jr. congratulated Brad on his finish by bumping him, after which Keselowski turned right and across the front of Kyle Busch's car, which spun Keselowski out.
Congratulations to Brad Keselowski for his first Cup win.

Brad's classy apology in victory lane. He's obviously new to this sport. He took responsibility AND forgot to mention his sponsor.

This is Carl's interview following his mandatory visit to the infield care center. He's such a class act.

Fans have been killed in the stands recently, but not during a Cup race.
This happened only 10 years ago at an IRL race.

Here's the Bobby Allison crash the announcers refer to. So similar it's eerie.
