All I can say is...GOOD LUCK PREDICTING THIS ONE. It's the biggest crapshoot of the year and ANYTHING can and will happen. 2 of the 3 SS races have been won by first time winners this year, can we expect the same here at Talladega? I think so, although timing will be key. The big one will be sure to take its toll on some drivers.
Chase Race #6: Talladega
- Thread starter wingnut
- Start date
Someone wants to raise the stakes a little...
Talladega Superspeedway has long been known as NASCAR’s Most Competitive Track…and now it’s looking to back up that reputation with cold hard cash. Track officials believe that this month’s running of the Good Sam Club 500 could eclipse 100 lead changes during the race and should that happen, the driver who takes the lead the most times throughout the race will earn $100,000.

The record for most lead changes is 88, set in both the 2010 and 2011 spring races.

It's going to be crazy o.o
I think if Johnson gets through Dega with a good finish, he'll be back in the hunt.
With JJ 50back and only 4races left I think the drive for 6 is gonna have to wait until next year. Needing an average of 9points a race over the guys in front of him its all but over.
I think it's finally safe to say he won't win 6 in a row. I'm really pulling for Edwards but I wouldn't mind anyone winning it at this point.
Bowyer won
