Talladega Superspeedway is next for the NASCAR Cup Series, and Front Row Motorsports will lead the field to the green flag. [autotag]Michael McDowell[/autotag] won the pole for the GEICO 500 at Talladega this weekend. Austin Cindric will join McDowell on the front row for Sunday afternoon’s event. It is a front-row lockout for Ford.
Todd Gilliland and Kyle Busch will follow the two drivers on the second row. Most notably, Ryan Blaney, Brad Keselowski, Denny Hamlin, Chase Briscoe, Erik Jones, Ross Chastain, and Kyle Larson all qualified 20th or worse for Sunday’s event. Thankfully for these drivers, with it being superspeedway racing, track position isn’t as important as it is on other race tracks.
