Just for race is left in the chase for the cup turned the chase for Jimmy -- JJ is -- a 118 point lead on as close as competitor. But all that of course could change the series heads to Talladega. The big one is always just around the corner of the track and Johnson needs to be careful of that triple digit lead could be erased and and in it. Let's hear from the drivers now as they get ready to roll at the day."

" I got a kick out of it always get a kick came out of it I think in every still going in and hunt but it on -- comes is going to be stressful race. That thing you know box thinking every week you know you got married. Especially today you know you -- sit -- agency and and you know you don't vote in you call the truck with a whatever you think it's process. And it doesn't do anything crazy parked the car. We'll probably -- enough to practice and make sure all the temperature of the good. Qualified car and -- him too often."

" I think anything they can do that. To make it safer especially for the fans is good. I don't as a competitor. I'm welcoming the race you know a year ago I. I'd wanna go their at all because I knew the potential for losing points but. Right now I'm you know I don't potential for Jimmie Johnson and Mark Martin those guys that was points so. Greedily you know I'm not kept open to go there and have things get mixed up and and -- support."

" It's Talladega is a lot of hope I used to think it if you took a fast -- out there you know you would be speedy enough to be. I hit -- troubled but that's not the case anymore so. You know that. That'll be interesting. To me how that race unfolds. And and get through there when that race is over -- I think it'll be a very clear picture. You know who's going to be contenders for the cup. You know until the end. We're just getting in position."

" Everybody kind of cross their fingers moving at Talladega there's. You know one mistake or not even a mistake just two different guys volunteer some corrections and and making a big deal so you can you can shuffle everything up and one --"

" Taking a look out -- up to date chase standings here's your top five heading into Talladega Jimmie Johnson of course he and his record fourth straight series title. With last week's runner up finish in Martinsville JJ and his lead over teammate Mark Barton from ninetieth to 118 points. Jeff Gordon also Kendrick hanging in there third followed by Tony Stewart. And Juan Pablo Montoya. And apparently at the standings is Kurt Busch for more on this week's race we are now please be joined by the -- him self driver of the number two car for team and he. Card first of all thanks a lot for joining us -- you're busy man and you know whether you're in the chase or not every driver tries to avoid what they called the big one. At Talladega is that possible."

" If half half avoid the big record Talladega is possible and hope that it never happens but. -- it is close -- quarter racing everybody is on top of each other all day long and it -- down that final pit stop and if we hadn't had the big one yet it is bound to happen because now we have so many cars still left so it is is part of NASCAR racing and right now in the chase in the playoffs so you gotta survive. And that side tied to big multi car -- there what are the challenges do you face it distracts the typically. One in the the unknown challenges at Talladega is outcome and on and off pit road and not get hung up in anybody's -- on pit road. There's a lot of pit sequences are always changing. So you have two tire stop sometimes fort tire stops you have fuel only at Talladega and one guy's coming out of that box -- gusto trying to polian. You have collisions. And given its uniqueness card do you think that this track should be part of the chase. You know I'd like to it needs to be part of the chase but let's make it the first one but maybe the first chase race it has that atmosphere has that excitement. And that way you know if you're ahead or behind after the first chase race that my -- way to -- Finally four races left you come into this one and it plays what do you hope to accomplish the remainder of the season. While we don't feel like we're in it to win it and if not we can move up and point we've been on average about a fourth place car points this year. Yeah we have a quite raced that competitive so if we can turn a corner and put up another win before seasons end. I would come away with a smile on her face -- thanks thoroughly appreciate the time. And that's gonna do it this -- update brought to you by Chevrolet Silverado America's best truck most dependable longest lasting full size pick -- on the road today. I'm Barry Le Brock the next."
