NASCAR Sprint Cup Series 2010 9 2010-04-25 2010-04-25 https://r2.thesportsdb.com/images/media/event/thumb/wtussv1471292756.jpg https://r2.thesportsdb.com/images/media/event/poster/txxxxx1471292831.jpg The 2010 Aaron's 499 was the 9th race of the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season, and the first of two Sprint Cup races held at Talladega Superspeedway in Talladega, Alabama. It started at 1 p.m. EDT on April 25, 2010. The race was televised on Fox and was also broadcast on MRN radio at 12 p.m. After the major crashes such as Carl Edwards' and Ryan Newman's crashes at the races last year, officials decided that they would change from the rear wing to the rear spoiler which debuted in the 2010 Goody's Fast Pain Relief 500. The race, which was extended by 12 laps, shattered numerous NASCAR records: it marked the first time under the modified green-white-checkered finish rules that a race had gone to the maximum three attempts allowed. There were eight caution flags, a record setting 29 different leaders and a record setting 88 lead changes. Kevin Harvick of Richard Childress Racing won the race, his first win of the season and his first since the 2007 Daytona 500, while the Earnhardt-Ganassi teammates of Jamie McMurray and Juan Pablo Montoya finished second and third. 512560
