Gluck: Talladega's controversial finish sullies Chase

TALLADEGA, Ala. -- In NASCAR, there are great races and bad races and every kind of race in between.
And then there was Sunday’s race at Talladega Superspeedway, which was simply a colossal embarrassment.
What was billed as possibly the most exciting race of the Sprint Cup season – an elimination race in the middle of the sport’s playoff -- turned into a complete debacle, unsatisfying in every way for fans who had traveled from 22 countries and 49 states to see it.
The race winner and the drivers who advanced to the next round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup were determined by video tape after a crash at the start of an overtime finish – a crash under questionable circumstances, at that.
