TALLADEGA, Ala. — If Kyle Busch is to extend his streak of top-10 finishes in Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series races, he’ll have to do so from the 22nd starting position in Sunday’s GEICO 500 at Talladega Superspeedway .
Busch has nine straight top 10s to start the season, and to add another, he’ll have to do so from mid-pack. But that isn’t the only worry for the 2015 series champion. Given the fast closing rates of the Cup cars, blocking attempts by the frontrunners could lead to chaos on the track. When NASCAR opted for a tapered spacer instead of a restrictor plate at superspeedways — and added roughly 100 horsepower to the Monster Energy Cup Series cars — there was speculation that the rules changes, which included raising the rear spoiler from eight to nine inches, might produce a return to tandem racing.
Richard Childress Racing driver Daniel Hemric, currently second in the Sunoco Rookie of the Year standings, said locking onto the bumper of the car ahead of him was a near impossibility.
