Talladega hasn't been kind to Jimmie Johnson on the whole.
On the other hand, he does have a 2006 win at the track, as well as two runner-up finishes to Jeff Gordon in 2007. Since 2007, he has three top-10s but also two finishes of 30th or worse.
What will happen on Sunday? Look for Johnson to do his best to stay out of trouble for the first 150 laps or so (never a guarantee at 'Dega).
Then with 20-30 laps to go, he'll get hooked up in a two-car draft, most likely with an experienced drafting partner like Jeff Gordon or Tony Stewart. They'll storm towards the front, just as Jeff and Jimmie did last fall.
From there...it's anyone's guess.
Perhaps Jimmie will get caught up in a late-race Big One. Maybe everything will go his way and he'll be in front when the checkered flag waves.
Whatever happens, it'll be sure to be an exciting finish. Anything can and will happen. It's 'Dega, baby!
