Talladega Plate Racing On Tap

2008 Aarons 499 at Talladega SuperspeedwayChevrolet drivers have dominated Talladega Superspeedway since 1999. The "Bowtie Brigade" have won an incredible sixteen of the last seventeen Talladega races. The only non-Chevy winner in this millennium was Dale Jarrett's October 2005 Talladega score.

What will this Sunday's 2008 Aaron's 499 bring? Talladega races are always a crap shoot. Fans should expect 499 miles of door-to-door battles, at least one multi-car wreck known as "The Big One," and a margin of victory well under a quarter of a second. Whether you love restrictor plate racing or hate it Talladega races usually leave fans with something to talk about.

Hendrick Motorsports drivers have swept the last four races. Will Jimmie Johnson win his second in a row or can Dale Earnhardt Jr. return to Victory Lane at a race track he used to dominate?
