If I were in the top 10, I'd be seriously concerned about Kvapil at the green flag

I'll be watching for Joey to make a hard charge to the front shortly after the green hopefully... nothing to lose.. go for it!

It's not that serious
This new Chase format has made Talladega such an odd sporting event. It will be fascinating to watch but I still wish this track weren't in The Chase.

Didn't know Brad has to move to the back. Oh, well, there is a lot of experience back there.

He's normally really stupid on plate tracks so this should be fun to watch.

Stupid FAST!! Lol... he does alright but something always happens.. bleh.. Im just hoping he can continue his top 5 streak.... but whatever happens happens... if he wrecks I hope he at least takes out the 48, 20, and the 24 lol.. I'd add the 4 to that but he's locked in already.
lol

Like his teammate, Brad will be fun to watch mainly because of how prone he is to making dumb moves in the pack.

Alternator? I have a feeling it was done by choice.

I believe that to be a non-issue. They both know what they need to do and worrying about payback or someone paying you back isn't it.

He has a tendency to make moves that slow him down along with screwing up the cars around him. He's a seriously terrible plate racer.

I though there were some very telling admissions during that piece, with Earnhardt confirming what some had speculated about for years.

Paul Menard is tense before the start of the race today. In fact, I would say the tension is close to boiling over.

It would be great if his father owned a pharmaceutical company. Rumors of home drug experiments would run wild.

Nice seats.
He said that in his early years he'd show up late to practice. It was "all about me".
He didn't use his talent, and didn't do his job in the car.
Very revealing and so very Junior.

Kyle Busch boos and Keselowski boos were almost even. Fans not happy with Kez after last week. Logano, Johnson also got some boos.

He basically said that he was selfish, lazy and resting on his name. He went on to say that he couldn't imagine doing that today and the most important thing in his life is his performance - including family.

Any bets on what lap the #88 reports a vibration?
