  Rain and more rain. The Nascar Cup Series visited Talladega Superspeedway located in Lincoln, Alabama for the “Yellawood 500”.  Bubba Wallace in a shocker made history by winning today. This is Wallace’s first win of the season and first win of his career. He also makes history by becoming the first African American since Wendell Scott in 1963, to win a Nascar Cup Series race.  ( Wallace headling Nascar News) This weekend was rough, rain threatened all weekend long. Sunday when the race was supposed to happen it rained out. Nascar officials tried to dry the track and postponed yesterday’s race to today at 1:00pm eastern. This didn’t help many people, with it being a normal Monday, school and work played a factor for a lot of people. So tomorrow when Nascar’s TV ratings come in from today, they will most likely be low. But that didn’t stop an interesting race.  ( Wallace standing with the "YellaWood 500 trophy) How Wallace won is a different story, rain threatened today’s finish
