Where: Talladega Superspeedway
When: 2 p.m. Sunday.
TV: WEWS (Channel 5), 1 p.m.
Track layout: 2.66-mile tri-oval.
Race length: 188 laps/500 miles.
Frontstretch: 4,300 feet.
Backstretch: 4,000 feet.
Banking in turns: 33 degrees.
2007 winner: Jeff Gordon.
2007 polesitter: Michael Waltrip.
What to look for:
• The Big One. The specter of a major crash hangs over the proceedings at NASCAR's largest track. There's nowhere to hide from the Big One, and a large, multicar wreck could scramble the Chase standings.
• A variety of strategies. Run up front in a white-knuckled pack or spend most of the race at the back of the field at three-quarter throttle — that is the question. Either strategy can work, and either can court disaster.
• Hendrick dominance. Jeff Gordon is always strong in Alabama, Jimmie Johnson is on a major roll with an average finish of 2.0 in the past five races, and Dale Earnhardt Jr. actually looks forward to running at Talladega — an attitude few others share. Might be a recipe for a Hendrick 1-2-3 finish.
