Why’d you circle every ford except for Chris Buescher in the thumbnail lol

Well considering only half the car was in the shot that’d be a little awkward to circle out of frame

Buescher is the other Ford I like. He won Daytona last year and Brad is a better pusher than leader at RFK.

The narrative for this race is Todd pushing Micheal to victory lane and Front Row going 1-2 just like they did when Regan and Gilliland did beating a Roush car

I prefer McDowell to push Todd Gilliland to victory lane. Yes I do want Front Row Motorsports to finish 1-2 since 2013 Talladega.

I agree man. Huge McDowell Fan but I think Michael push Todd to let him have his spot because McDowell can point his way in the playoffs.

I’m watching Gilliland heading into Talladega. He’s has great top-10 runs this year but hasn’t been able to get finishes in that area. To be fair it’s not all on him not being able to turn top-10 runs into top-10 finishes but Talladega is going to be his best shot to get his first top-10 this year

I’m just saying I would love to see Todd win this year too cause he’s having a phenomenal season so far

I hope Brad Keselowski can finally break his winless streak. Has done 107 races without winning.

Got all 3 Spire drivers in my fantasy this week. Lajoie has the help he needs this year to make something happen…

Erik Jones has been really good here… He is an underdog for this weekend in my opinion

My Dark Horses: Austin Dillon, Kyle Larson, and Todd Gilliland

I thing the 23 wins, he’s been knocking on the door for the past few races, and I think he finally breaks through this week, same for my Xfinity pick, Riley Herbst, who almost won at Atlanta, befit he ran out of fuel with 5 to go

Reply
@kevinlittrell3407 April 17, 2024 at 6:12 pm

Yeah, I feel like he kinda got screwed by Toyota the past few years which lagged in the super-speedway department. Now, Toyota is just bad fast everywhere, so he’s gotta real
Shot.

Either the rain or Blaney! Lol. Driving from Grapevine to go to the race. I was at Texas last week and had hopes Blaney could get it done until Preece got him back…

@ryanhamilton8084 April 17, 2024 at 7:09 pm

I’ll be rooting for Blaney this sunday too. Sick looking wabash car would be perfect for victory lane

Daniel Suarez has to be a dark horse. He has 6 top tens in the last 9 drafting tracks which includes three top 10s at Talladega (and a obviously a win at Atlanta). He’s 7th in points in super-speedways in the nextgen era, but his odds are 35-1. Cindric and Suarez are by far the best dark horses.

Chase Elliott might be a dark horse. People don’t think of him as a great SS driver, but he is very good at Talladega.

Reply
@timechanger9162 April 17, 2024 at 7:56 pm

I’m surprised people are sleeping on chase Elliot tbh. He’s been great at talladega and superspeedways in general. Maybe not daytona. But Atlanta and talladega he’s constantly there.
Plus Chevy plays the fuel strat at Daytona and through everyone off
