11:55 a.m. ET — Jet dryers are on the track, and because of that, this is hereby declared a Juan Montoya joke-free zone.
8:03 a.m. ET — The track is getting pounded by a thunderstorm for the moment, but clouds are expected to decrease by the start of the race. It’s going to be a hot one, with temperatures forecast for the high 80s.
7:31 a.m. ET — Jeff Gordon was once called Wonder Boy, and now he’s Old Man River. Jeff Gordon’s top qualfiying effort for the Aaron’s 499 marked the 20th straight season he’d won a Cup pole position. That ties NASCAR Hall of Fame member David Pearson for the longest such streak in history.
It’s the 71st pole of Gordon’s career, third on the all-time list.
Alongside Gordon on the front row will be AJ Allmendinger, followed by Marcos Ambrose, Aric Almirola and Kasey Kahne in the top five. Greg Biffle, Carl Edwards, Tony Stewart, Michael Waltrip and Matt Kenseth are sixth through 10th.
J.J. Yeley failed to qualify for the event.
awesome racin last nite and for me....WAY TO GO Danika
I don’t know. they sure are giving JJ a lot of camera time.
I was going to work in my shop but with the delay I’ll have to stick around and make sure my PVR records all of it.
I recorded the ARCA race and the Nationwide. The track is definitely living up to its reputation, it will be a good race unless it turns into a race of attrition.
I’ve got to order Dale Jr’s “Cinco de Mayo” diecast that he drove yesterday. The #5 Hellman’s Mayonnaise Chevy Impala. Awesome. What a way to celebrate “Cinco de Mayo”. I sure wish he could have won that race.
LOVE it :)
hi folks. all y’all ready to watch Jr win this thing?
1:42 p.m. ET — The caution car is beginning to lead the field down pit road. Take a deep breath ... it’s Talladega.
1:41 p.m. ET — Drivers on pit road are being given the signal that there will be three pace laps prior to the green flag! We’re almost ready to roll!
1:38 p.m. ET — Comedian Ron White — Tater Salad!!! — gives the command to fire engines.
1:32 p.m. ET — Singer/songwriter Margo Rey signs the national anthem. As she nears the finish, four T-38s from the 560th FTS do the traditional fly-over.
1:31 p.m. ET — The schedule has now been bumped up. The invocation is given by Rev. Bob Lightsey, pastor of Union Hill Baptist Church and a volunteer with Alabama Raceway Ministries.
12:15 p.m. ET — The start of the Aaron’s 499 has been pushed back 45 minutes as track drying continues. The green flag is now scheduled to drop at 2:05 p.m. ET.
