After a week off, NASCAR gets back to racing this week at a completely different track than the one it just left in Richmond.
Drivers will head to Talladega Superspeedway and the fierce unpredictability of the 2.66-mile restrictor plate track.
These races have been overcome with the conversations of boredom as single-file racing has been prevalent in recent years at Talladega and Daytona, so we'll see if that storyline changes this week.
But, beyond that, we won't let you forget that Kyle Busch is still on fire and Brad Keselowski has been more than good, as well.
But, it's restrictor-plate racing, so Denny Hamlin cannot be forgotten about, either. With two wins already this season he has a great chance to pick up another victory and make it two for two on similar tracks this season.
