Only in Talladega

For race fans in Talladega, it would be the day that they either celebrate or mourn, but either way, they definately won't forget. When Jeff Gordon surpassed the late Sr.'s 76th career win on the day of his birthday, Sr. would have been 56 years young. The fans showed Gordon how they really felt about the win, by thowing beer cans on to the track. Race Officals warned fans all week that if an act like this occured, fans would be arrested and or banned from the track. The anouncers stated that they were happy to see the Race Officials following through on the threat. Any thoughts ya'll?
