[Brer_Papa]

Up next is the 10th race this season. The "Geico 500" at Talladega Superspeedway on SUNDAY, May 1st.

Talladega Superspeedway is an oval track with a lap distance of 2.66 miles. We'll have a total race distance of 500 miles after 188 laps are completed.

#88 JR!! has 6 wins here to lead all drivers.

Other history:

In 2015, #88 JR!! and #22 J Logano took home the trophies.

In 2014, #11 D Hamlin and #2 B Kezelowski avoided the 'big one" to capture the wins.

In 2013, David Ragan and J McMurray were the race winners.

In 20112. #2 B Kezelowski and #20 M Kenseth grabbed the checkered flags.

My 'Dega picks:

JR!! <~~~ He can do it....

K Harvick <~~~ will do well....real well....

J Logano <~~~ Knocking on the door so far and ready to bust through...

J Johnson <~~ It's strange not to see him in the list of winners...buy...still taking the #48....

D Hamlin <~~~ I flipped a coin...he won..

My spare is Kyle Busch <~~~ I flipped a coin...#11 won...

I received no picks this week.

OK!

This will be an exciting race! See you there!

It was like watching a demolition derby today.

Race to the finish between Aunt Michelle and MRETRACC, since they are the only two of us not to pick Jr this week.

Well you don't have to worry about MRETRACC since He picked Logono(25), Hamlin(31) and
Edwards(35) so he is out of the picture. He also picked Kurt(6) and Kyle (2). Messy Week..
