Editor's note: NBC broadcasters will offer opinions on upcoming races the remainder of the season. This week, analyst Dale Jarrett discusses Sunday's Hellmann's 500 at Talladega Superspeedway, starting about 2 p.m. ET on NBCSN.
Expect anything this weekend at Talladega Superspeedway.
That is something every driver competing in the Hellmann's 500 knows. What those in the Chase for the Sprint Cup don't know, however, is how exactly to be in position to handle those unexpected moments.
After all, Talladega is a unique beast. Known for its multicar crashes, for drivers' inability to control their own destiny as much as at other tracks, on the need to stay close to the competition without crashing into it, Talladega is perhaps the most daunting race in the Chase before the championship showdown at Homestead.
