Qualifying dominance on other tracks doesn't necessarily carry over to Talladega, but it did for Chase Briscoe, who qualified second to earn his 12th front row start. Although Briscoe only finished 15th in the spring, he led 20 laps and his 15-lap stint out front from laps 26-40 was the second-longest such stint in the race behind his teammate Ty Gibbs. That isn't necessarily a good thing though as in the cases of both Briscoe and Gibbs, the fact that they burnt more fuel while in the lead probably hurt their finish relative to drivers who keep passing and re-passing each other for the lead who are more likely to win. Briscoe has sometimes been awkward on drafting tracks as he won the pole for the Daytona 500 before causing the big one, being penalized, then having that penalty rescinded. Briscoe is unusually cheap, but not a good option since he'll likely finish way worse than second.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
