Larson sits in front of Martin Truex Jr. who won two races in the first round of the playoffs, Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch who were some of the winningest drivers on tour all season long.
But anyone can win this week at Talladega as the restrictor-plate track is one of the biggest wild cards throughout the playoffs. Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano are the only two drivers to win at the track multiple times since 2015 and no one has won the race back to back since Jeff Gordon in 2007.
The wide-open, 2.66-mile track though has favored Fords in recent years as the cars won seven races in a row from the second race of 2015 to the final race of 2018. Chase Elliott broke that streak earlier this year, but considering the difficulties of repeating at the track, that does not bode well for the young driver this week.
Keselowski has to be seen as a good contender to win as does Logano as the two have combined for eight wins (Keselowski five, Logano three) in their careers at the track. Both could use the victories as well as Keselowski sits in sixth in the playoff standings right on the bubble and Logano is currently the first driver out in ninth with two races to go in this round.
