The top of the NASCAR Cup Series standings has become the bastion of Denny Hamlin and Kyle Larson.

But as the Round of 12 gets ready for another cutdown next week, the group at the bottom of the standings has reason to be nervous. Add the power of Talladega’s spin cycle track, and you have a formula for excitement that is sure to raise the stakes at the Yellawood 500.

And you can win along with NASCAR’s finest with FOX’s Super 6. Just answer all six questions on the race correctly, and you could win $1,000. It’s quick, easy and free to play. Just download the FOX Super 6 app on your phone or mobile device.

Here are the six questions for this week.

Which driver will have the best finishing position in the race?
The options: Denny Hamlin, Kyle Busch, Chase Elliott, Ryan Blaney, Kyle Larson, Martin Truex Jr.

It would be easy to pick Hamlin (winner of two playoff races, including last week) or Larson. Truex has not raced well at Talladega’s Superspeedway, with just two top-5s in 33 appearances. Elliott could be the wild card, with five top-10s in his 11 races at Talladega.

How many Fords will finish in the top 10?
The options: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5-plus

Ford had six cars in the Top 10 at Talladega back in May. In the past three races there, there have been 13 top-10 Ford finishers out of 30 positions.

How many Toyotas will finish in the top 10?
The options: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5-plus

In this race in October, Hamlin and Erik Jones finished in the top two in Toyotas. But there wasn’t another Toyota in the top 10. Toyota was also completely shut out of the top 10 in the spring — one that was dominated by six Fords.

How many Chevys will finish in the top 10?
The options: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5-plus

William Byron finished second in the spring race in a Chevy. The last Chevy to win at Talladega was Elliott in 2019.

Which of these drivers will finish in the worst position at the end of the race?
The options: Denny Hamlin, Kyle Busch, Chase Elliott, Ryan Blaney, Kyle Larson, Martin Truex Jr.

As mentioned above, Truex is the one the numbers suggest could really struggle. He’s also one of those guys who has been able to run really strong during the playoffs; he’s at that next step with Hamlin and Larson at this point. But history might be a better indicator at this point.

Which of these drivers will finish with the most Cup Series points at the end of the race?
The options: Denny Hamlin, Kyle Busch, Chase Elliott, Ryan Blaney, Kyle Larson, Martin Truex Jr.

At this rate, Larson leads the Cup Series points race, with Hamlin clinched through to the round of eight because of his victory last week. You can take the field to try to buck the trend, but those two are the clear front-runners for this category.
