Nascar At Talladega Playoff Standings Tv Schedule Qualifying Drivers For Round Of 12 Race

We can’t talk about Talladega without mentioning Dale Earnhardt Jr.. Sunday’s race marks Junior’s final race at the Talladega — his top track. Earnhardt’s six wins at Talladega are tied with Jeff Gordon’s total for second all-time. His father, Dale Earnhardt, holds the track record with 10 victories.

The Alabama faithful will be going nuts when Earnhardt is introduced for the final time even though he is out of championship contention. Currently, Martin Truex Jr. leads the playoff standings after postseason wins at Chicago and Charlotte. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has the most work to do but is a two-time restrictor plate winner this season and could be another surprise winner at a track where the only thing to expect is the unexpected.Â
