Lets Go Racing Boys

*The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series is rolling into Talledega on Sunday April 17th, expect the exact same kind of racing we saw at this year's Daytona 500. The drivers will be searching for draft partners before the race to make sure they dont get too far behind the leaders and fall a lap down. It is a 2 mile track, but a lot of the time we see long periods of time without a caution for a wreck or debree which can cause slower cars to find the leader at their back bumper eventually. It will be interesting to see how the drivers do in qualifying on Friday. I dont care who says what, the best strategy is to get a hold of your draft partner and drive your way to the front. It's best to stay at the front to see who your contenders for the victory will be for when it comes down to 30 laps to go. Don't ever forget to watch out for THE BIG ONE, a huge multi-car crash that always takes place at the restrictor plate tracks Daytona and Talladega. Going 190 mph bumper to bumper and 3 wide at some points can be a recipe for disaster.

Gordon and Bayne?

Trevor Bayne shocked the world by winning this year's Daytona 500, it was his first Daytona 500 race and second Sprint Cup Series race. It came down to a close finish between competitors like Carl Edwards and the shocking performance from Bobby Labonte. Trevor had a lot of help from drafting with 4 time Sprint Cup champion Jeff Gordon, they were able to stay among the leaders all day. However Gordon was involved in a wreck and salvaged a 28th place finish. Will these two have the cars to lead at Talladega this Sunday? Will they team up once again? I can't wait to find out.

6 Drivers I think have the best chance to win at Talladega:

-Kevin Harvick

-Carl Edwards
-Jeff Gordon
-Dale Earnhardt Jr.
-Jimmie Johnson
-Kyle Busch

*The race at Talladega is this Sunday at 1 pm on FOX network. If you have any predictions I encourage you to share them.
