against will. talk about the trophy. it is beautiful. 130-pound vulcan trophy, exact replica over looks birmingham. cast iron made individually for each race. this is that coveted trophy that the drivers want to walk away with after the geico 500. that and a little bit of a check as well. rachel: what is the symbolism here? the symbolism, the birmingham area, east central area of alabama is known for being an iron city. so we wanted to incorporate something that is special in our east region area. so for the vulcan trophy it is such an iconic figure that overlooks birmingham, overlooks our area. so we wanted to pay homage to it and bring it out here for talladega. this is probably one of the top five trophies in all of nascar. will: nascar turned into a national sport. you have people here from all over the country. not hopefully forgetting
drivers are the same way. remember every single race, the move i made on you, the move you made on me. they will pay back or use other friend. in superspeedway racing you need friends to get to the front. two are faster than one, 10 are faster than five. it is about having friends. about exacting revenge, ricky stenhouse, ryan blaney, this track or style of racing owes them one. they will be aggressive. find out who your friends are on the track. that s right. rachel: you love cars. by the way we re glad you re here. we know you love cars. you have a show on fox nation about cars. tell us about it. yeah it will premier, can t believe it, tomorrow night on fox business, 9:00 p.m. eastern time. we ve been cooking this baby six months. i can t wait for everyone to see it tomorrow night. it will be great. we followed 10 families from around the country. each episode is its own family. grown children surprising their parents by restoring a car they have had in for years.
superspeedway. pete: why, it is true, evident. because his dad, bill elliot the hall-of-famer was popular. he was nascar s most popular driver of two decades. he took himself out of running so other drivers could get the award. he was that popular. chase inherited all of his dad s fans when he got to the cup series. bubba wallace driving the 23 car, number 23 for michael jordan, he made fame news in the nba. he has finished sir, second, first in the last three superspeedway races. keep an eye on that guy. will: ryan blaney feel as little robbed because of the wreck in the final stretches of race. ricky stenhouse, jr., felt the same way. quite a few guys, taking the track i almost had it in daytona and will get it in talladega. they never forget. like a golfer, they remember every hole on the course. how do you remember the nuances?
paula s bravery and do a southern accent. finally race day here in al daigh ga, what drivers should we keep an eye on? rachel: fox business host danielle trata covers nascar as a reporter. she is here to give us insight. pete: want to get to your show which we will in a moment. give us a preview of the race. who should we look at? 500 miles, will come down to the final few feet, at the superspeedway, especially talladega. keep an eye on ryan blaney. one last two superspeedway races. got robbed in the daytona 500. always up front in these type of racetracks. keep your eye on blaney. chase elliot in the nine car, this place will explode when chase elliot gets to the front. it is electric. you will have 100,000 people creating a roar around the
regional roots and small tracks around here as well. after daytona, atlanta, what do you anticipate happening on this track? amazing race. we saw the nextgen car with the superspeedway package at daytona. also at atlanta. a phenomena race at atlanta. we hope for a great 188 laps. sometimes they go over time. usually three, four wide finish. sometimes we have them going backwards across the start finish line. pete: spinning out, finishing backwards. finishing backwards. eric amirola finishing backwards. two or three others. pete: happening in reality. happened in talladega nights. eric didn t have to ricky bobby across. will: three or four wide potentially with the big wreck.
