If just two more drivers had spent a single lap out in front of the field, Sunday's 500-mile NASCAR Cup race at Talladega would have matched the record for different race leaders in a single race. This is the first time since the era of the tandem draft NASCAR has seen these kinds of numbers.
The 2010 Aaron's 499 at Talladega holds the record with 29 different race leaders, followed by the 2008 AMP Energy 500 at Talladega at 28, and this past weekend's Yellawood 500 at Talladega now sits third overall with 27.
