The great thing about Tony Stewart is how honest he is.

The less-than-satisfying ending to Sunday's race in Talladega should have NASCAR revisiting its scoring and timing systems this week. Races should end with racers, you know, racing. 

Oh, Talladega. What are we going to do with you?

Now that I’m up a fake 90 dollars for the year after Denny Hamlin’s win at Martinsville, I can devote my energy to racing’s biggest problem child. And if you think Talladega isn’t a problem, here’s one of many crash montages with crappy musical accompaniment to boot.

Last week’s NASCAR Cup race at Talladega put up some record-setting statistics. Lead changes and number of leaders for a single event now have new heights to match. It was impressive and enjoyable. But it can’t be considered a norm.

Fast forward to the next weekend and the circuit rolls into its first of two annual Richmond weekends. The Virginia three-quarter mile oval is of exceptional design and usually provides great racing. Backing it up to Talladega puts it in a nice spot.

The biggest track and one of the shortest tracks scheduled consecutively provides teams with available equipment and fans with racing variety. The contrasting speedways add some spice often sought in the world of downforce facilities.

In case you missed, Dennis Setzer climbed the catch fence - on fire - at last weekend's Nationwide race in Talladega. Somewhere Ryan Newman is punching a wall.
