NASCAR Cup Series

"The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading..." and I need to unload on the idiotic decision to go to one green-white-checker attempt.

Let’s be honest. Trying to predict which eight drivers will make it through the characteristic chaos of Talladega Superspeedway to advance to the Eliminator Round of the Chase is next to impossible. With only 25 points separating the top eight contenders and the looming likelihood of the almost inevitable “big one,” the only thing certain is that no one is safe - except Joey Logano.

Brad Keselowski topped the charts in the final practice session. The driver of the No. 2 Team Penske Ford was the fastest in final practice with a time of 48.752 and a speed of 196.423 mph.

JEFF GORDON, NO. 24 3M CHEVROLET SS, met with members of the media Friday at Talladega Superspeedway. He discussed his approach to Sunday’s final race of the Contender round, his history and best memories at Talladega, his season to date and other topics.

The driver of the No. 16 Roush Fenway Racing Ford was the fastest in the session with a time of 47.597 and a speed of 201.189 mph.

MATT KENSETH, No. 20 DeWALT Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing - How is the car for this weekend and what is your approach for the race? “It’s always hard to tell where you stack up here at Talladega really until you get into the race."

Brad Keselowski, driver of the No. 2 Miller Lite Fusion, came into this event last year needing a win in order to advance to the Eliminator Round, and he got it. This season, he finds himself seventh in a crowded field of drivers looking to be one of the eight who advance next week at Martinsville. Keselowski spoke about his situation and other issues around this weekend’s event before today’s practice.

The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and the Camping World Truck Series travel to Talladega Superspeedway this weekend while the XFINITY Series is off.

Please see the full schedule below.

Talladega Superspeedway is known as the biggest and baddest race track on the planet. The U.S. Air Force B-2 Stealth Bomber may not be the biggest, but it is no doubt the baddest aircraft that one will ever see. The two will come together Sunday for the most anticipated NASCAR Sprint Cup race of 2015 – the CampingWorld.com 500.

Richard Childress Racing announced today that Pfizer Inc., a premier innovative biopharmaceutical company, will be the primary sponsor of Ty Dillon for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Sunday, November 22, 2015.
