Sometimes, different is good. Such was the case Saturday during pole qualifying at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway for Sunday’s Aaron’s 499 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race. Jeff Gordon opted to drive his No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet in a different line around the track than anyone else, and the move paid off in the form of his 71st-career series pole.

Gordon, Earnhardt optimistic about Talladega
The drivers are distinctly poised.

TALLADEGA, Ala. (May 1, 2012) – Shell-Pennzoil/AAA Dodge driver AJ Allmendinger is quick to say that the 2.66-mile Talladega Superspeedway is nowhere near the top on his list of favorite race tracks on the NASCAR Sprint Cup circuit.
