Heading into Sunday's 500-mile event at the Talladega Superspeedway, the No.32 Go Fas Racing team will travel south to the "The Yellowhammer State" with 2000 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series(NSCS) champion Bobby Labonte for the 48th annual Alabama 500 at the Talladega Superspeedway in Lincoln, AL.

Brian Scott and the No. 44 Goody's team are preparing for anything as the Sprint Cup Series makes the second trip to the 2.66-mile Talladega Superspeedway this weekend. With just five races left in the 2016 season, Scott is hoping for a top finish at the track that can be completely unpredictable with high speeds and close-quarter racing.

The last time Aric Almirola went superspeedway racing, he left Daytona International Speedway with a XFINITY Series win and a Top-15 finish in the Sprint Cup Series. With a win in both Cup and XFINITY, superspeedways are tracks that Almirola has proved to excel. During the season's first visit to Talladega, Almirola ran with the leaders but was taken out in a late-race accident and finished in 27th place. Returning this weekend, he will look to once again run up front in the No. 43 Smithfield Ford and score the strong finish that he missed out on in the spring.
