Pit Pass Network Predictions: Playoff Talladega

The NASCAR Cup and Craftsman Truck Series will head to Alabama for some playoff Talladega racing. Both series are entering their second race of their second round of the playoffs. On the Cup Series side, eleven drivers will be looking to survive the playoff Talladega race in a decent points position for the ROVAL. Meanwhile, the Craftsman Truck Series race might see more bold actions as their playoff grid is more spaced out. Either way, this weekend’s action at Talladega Superspeedway should be wild and unpredictable. With that said, what names did the Pit Pass Network crew pull from their respective hats for this week’s predictions?

Shout out to the following Pit Pass Network members who had correct predictions last week for the Xfinity Series race:
