TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) Stewart-Haas Racing has all four of its cars at the front of the field for the start of Sunday’s critical playoff race at Talladega Superspeedway.
Kurt Busch is on the pole and followed by Ford teammates Clint Bowyer, Kevin Harvick and Aric Almirola. The four-driver Chevrolet contingent from Hendrick Motorsports is lined up behind SHR, and three Toyota drivers follow. Teamwork will be essential early in the 500-mile race.
Drivers will work with their teammates to stay out of traffic and trouble because an accident could cripple a championship run. Talladega marks the middle race of the second round of NASCAR’s playoffs, and four drivers will be trimmed from the grid after next week’s race at Kansas.
It means there’s very little room for error Sunday at Talladega.
