With the Roval in Charlotte now behind us, there’s one big wildcard race left for Playoff drivers to negotiate — Talladega Superspeedway. NASCAR’s biggest oval typically brings out the crazy in everyone, throwing a wrench into the second round of NASCAR’s playoffs.
For drivers like Chase Elliott, Joey Logano and Ryan Blaney who each experienced issues last weekend at Dover, Talladega is a pretty scary place to be headed. For Kyle Larson, who already has a win in his pocket this round, he can breathe easy entering one of his worst racetracks.
Elliott won this race in the spring, thanks to a coordinated effort out of the Chevrolet camp. Will we see them work together again with so much on the line? With Elliott, Alex Bowman and William Byron each needing good runs, you can probably count on the Hendrick camp sticking together.
