Repeat from yesterday’s Open Race Thread : “Talladega. The word is cool to say. Talladega. It even sounds ominous when you say it. Talladega. It is even more ominous when you go there in person. Talladega. I’m getting chills.”

And I was right, wasn’t I? Did you see the end of yesterday’s race? What a mess. But was kind of cool to see Waltrip drive his car back to the garage area after it flipped over and landed back on it’s wheels.
My picks for today (like it matters anyway) is any Rick Hendrick car or powered car for the win, hopefully Dale Jr., and as a dark horse I’m going with Joey Logano.
Here is the starting line-up (via nascar.com).
One other thing before I depart, don’t forget to follow NASCAR Ranting and Raving’s very own Matt Weaver at the track on his Twitter feed (@Racing_Observer) for all the latest updates on the action taking place at Talladega today.
