The traveling NASCAR roadshow heads to Talladega this week for the Geico 500.
You can keep camping right along with the best drivers in the world with FOX’s Super 6 Stage 2 contest.
After Alex Bowman’s win last weekend at Richmond, the focus goes from short tracks back to superspeedways. Denny Hamlin continues to dominate the stages, winning two of them last week to up his season-leading stage total to five. That’s why Hamlin leads the NASCAR Cup standings – even without a race win.
The Sunday race is a great time to get involved in FOX Super 6’s Stage 2 contest. If you can get the right answer to all six questions regarding Stage 2 of Sunday’s race, you can win $25,000 of Clint Bowyer’s money and a brand-new RV 6 from Camping World. Best of all, it's free! Just download the Super 6 app, and make your picks now.
Here’s a look at the questions for Sunday’s race:
Which driver will have the best finishing position at the end of Stage 2?
The choices: Ryan Blaney, Chase Elliott, Alex Bowman, Denny Hamlin, Brad Keselowski or Joey Logano
It is tough to overstate how dominant Hamlin has been in stages to this point. His two stage wins last week on the short track at Richmond helped him extend his lead. He has two wins and nine top-5s in 30 starts at Talladega, so he has some strong success. He won the second race there last year, so that success is recent as well.
Which of these drivers will have the most laps led by the end of Stage 2?
The choices: Alex Bowman, Chase Elliott, Denny Hamlin, Brad Keselowski, Joey Logano or tie/no laps lead
Hamlin is again the popular pick in this spot, but keep an eye on Logano here. Of these drivers, Logano is second in laps led this season behind Hamlin, who has led a ridiculous 694 laps. Logano also has three wins at Talladega in just 24 starts, with eight top-5s.
How many cautions will there be by the end of Stage 2?
The choices: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7-plus
October’s race at the superspeedway had a whopping 13 cautions. While the spring race tends to be a lower caution event — the previous two Geico 500s also went with under 10 yellows – a higher pick could be a good choice.
How many lead changes will there be by the end of Stage 2?
The choices: 0-10, 11-20, 21-27, 28-34, 35-41, 42-plus
The 2020 Geico 500 had 57 lead changes for the entire race. The fall race also went into the 50s. In other words, leaders are not lasting long on this track, which is why the racing tends to be outstanding.
Which manufacturer will have the most cars in the top 10 of Stage 2?
The choices: Toyota, Chevy, Ford, tie
Fords have traditionally raced well at Talladega, winning 10 of the past 13 races. Hamlin’s win in October was the first for Toyota since Hamlin’s win in 2014. When you consider the history, Ford is a pretty good pick here.
Which team will have the most drivers in the top five of Stage 2?
The choices: Hendrick Motorsports, Team Penske, Joe Gibbs Racing, Stewart-Haas Racing, Richard Childress Racing
Again, Hamlin and Martin Truex have Joe Gibbs racing sitting 1-2 at the moment, and that’s a pretty powerful punch. However, Penske could be a major factor here in breaking into the top five.
