Upcoming Events in the World of NASCAR

Next week, the Nextel Cup teams will take on the longest track on the ciruit, Talladega Superspeeway. Every week is exciting in the world of NASCAR.

For the entire race, fans will clinch their seats and their beers as they watch for the inevitable "Big One"; the wreck that takes out half the field.

Of the current drivers, the odds on favorite to win is Dale Earnhardt Jr. In 12 starts at Talladega, Jr. has 5 wins.

Tony Stewart
Kurt Busch
