Three active drivers have enjoyed season sweeps at Pocono. What is it about this track?

Be sure to fill up on Starbucks or Amp and prepare to see a different kind of race where fuel mileage strategy, endurance and focus play a part.

Terry LaBonte will fill in for Petty in the majority of those races, giving him the opportunity to finally team up with brother, Bobby. Wed, 14 May 2008 17:28:21 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/266995 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/266995 It seems as if every week, we hear the dreaded question, 'when is Dale Earnhardt, Jr. going to winÎ"' Hopefully, he can pull it off this weekend at Talladega so the questions will vanish along with any doubt than he can still win at this level. There is no better, or more logical, place for Earnhardt, Jr. to win considering his record of accomplishments at the 2.66-mile super speedway. From 2001 to 2004, Earnhardt, Jr. and the DEI organization owned Talladega Superspeedway. In fact, all five of his victories occurred during that period. Add an Earnhardt to an already potent Hendrick Motorsports restrictor plate package; you have a recipe for a victory.

They're all excellent candidates, but I'm picking a guy who hasn;t won here since 2001. This race is all about speed, and right now, this guy is wicked fast.

But, that's not what's got them in the headlines this week. For a few years now Richard Childress has expressed interest in fielding a fourth race team in the Cup Series, and on Tuesday afternoon, they made that decision final.

Is this any way to handle qualifying?

That means that drivers will no longer be safe from qualifying based on the 2007 car owner points, but rather on the 2008 points they've accrued. To clarify, that means that any team ...
