Take-off in Talladega

Talladega, Alabama, hosts the latest race in the US-based Nascar series on Sunday. Juan Pablo Montoya is in pole for the Aaron's 499

The race involves a number of bad crashes. There is a 13-car pile-up on lap seven and 10 cars crash towards the end of the race

Worse is to come. On the final lap, Brad Keselowski (right) hooks onto the rear bumper of Carl Edwards to push him past two other drivers

Edwards tries to block the move, but Keselowski is too close to his bumper and the contact sends Edwards spinning up the track

The car of Edwards shoots into the air over Ryan Newman’s hood and heads dangerously into the safety fence on the front stretch

The safety fence bows but holds. A tragedy is avoided but seven fans are injured - not seriously - by debris. Keselowski wins the race

Edwards climbs out and dashes for the line. He wants new race regulations saying: "I'm glad the car didn't go in the grandstands. We'll race like this until we kill somebody, then Nascar will change it."
