Previous MENCS: Geico 500 at Talladega SuperSpeedway

After a week of rest for Holy Week, on Sunday April 28 this year will be held the 10th date of the season 2019 of the Monster Energy Nascar Cup Series, which is named Geico 500, on the track of Talladega SuperSpeedway.This event will run without restrictors by which the engines will contract with all the power, however and due to the reduction of power in the 750 hp engines to 550 hp, they will not reach such high speeds, since in this track the turn is given by the dimensions of the circuit.

The last event Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond International Raceway, was won by Martin Truck Jr #19-Toyota team Joe Gibbs Racing, so it still retains the dominance of the team mentioned above with Ford team Penske. The end was very close, due to the battle between Clint Bowyer #14 of SHR and Trux Jr, Logono managed to discount the advantage against the No. 78 car and get very close to the victory. Truex achieved his first victory with the JGR team, in addition to achieving the ballot for the Playoffs of the 2019 season, so he will be fighting for the title.

Kyle Busch who is doing well in the current season, started a great way in the last event, winning the first segment, but due to a penalty in the second segment for exceeding the speed limit in the pits, I am delayed and never He recovered from everything, since he also lost the balance of the car and it was very difficult to pass on the short track of Richmond.

For Dega, as it is well known, it is difficult to predict what will happen, because as many of us know in that track, many accidents happen in which anyone can be involved at any time since the event is run in a package.

Championship status after 9/36 races
