Toyota at Talladega

| | Comments (0) |

Three Toyota NASCAR Nextel Cup Series drivers have won at Talladega Superspeedway, site of Sunday's race.
Dale Jarrett won two Cup races at Talladega. Michael Waltrip has won once. Brian Vickers won the latest race at Talladega.
But Jarrett is the only driver guaranteed a starting spot in the Talladega race. He can use a champion provisional if he does not qualify for the race on time.
The other six Toyota drivers are not in the top 35 in owners points. The top 35 drivers are guaranteed starting spots in the race.
Vickers, a driver for Team Red Bull, is 41st in points.
“I like Talladega, I think it’s a great race,” Vickers said. “Hopefully we’ll be able to qualify a little better than the last time we were at a restrictor plate race. Qualifying is so important already, but at Talladega we won’t have the 150s to lean on. I enjoy this race track, it’s a lot of fun and I really enjoy restrictor plate races.”
