Will be the last Talladega race using the current restrictor plate package. Next April, the cars will have taper spacers and drop to 550 HP.

Looked it up, they currently make only 410 HP, lower than I thought. We saw in the the spring with Mcmurrays crash that they need to avoid going over 200 mph around the whole place.

My bet still remains the 2 car wins this one. I wouldn't be shocked if this one is a wreckfest, either.
I think Newman will also finish best of the 4 drivers mentioned.

But what are the odds they actually make the race? I'd say not high... I think it will depend if anyone pulls out. If not then it will be completely up to what engine they have. |

A total of 7 cars will finish, and Brad will win and once again be declared a plate racing demi god.

Hey Canadian fan, can you give me a stream for the race this weekend? This is probably the one race I’m most excited to see.
