Talladega Superspeedway is the scene, a 2.66-mile asphalt superspeedway with high-banked turns. This will be the second time for the Xfinity cars at ‘Dega this season. The first race resulted in 35 lead changes and seven cautions in what was a relatively clean race, especially for Talladega standards. The Cup drivers will go 188 laps on Sunday in another huge playoff race.
