The Low Tier – Talladega
Landon Cassill – At Talladega, Landon Cassill will be piloting the #77 Spire Motorsports entry. Of the drivers of this tier, I like him the most. To start the season in this very ride, Cassill finished 15th in the Daytona 500. At Talladega, Cassill raced there last fall and finished 24th. In fall 2019 in his next most recent race he finished 14th.
Greg Biffle – Greg Biffle is back for Talladega! He might sneak in a good result, or he might have some sort of self-inflicted problem with the #44 like he’s had in 3 of his 4 starts this year. Those problems have led to him finishing 34th or worse in 3 of his 4 races in 2022. In the Daytona 500, Biffle had what I believe was a fuel pickup related issue and it led to him finishing 36th. At Talladega, Biffle last raced there in 2016 and that season his results were 15th and 20th.
BJ McLeod – At Talladega, BJ McLeod is 3 for 3 at finishing between 25th to 31st. Over his combined starts his average finish is 28.6. In 2021 at Talladega, McLeod’s results were 30th (fall) and 25th (spring). To start the year, McLeod finished 27th in the Daytona 500.
Cody Ware – At Talladega, beware of Cody Ware. In 4 of his 5 starts at Talladega, Ware has finished 28th or worse. In 2021, Ware had a pair of 28th’s for the season. To start the year, Ware finished 17th in the Daytona 500.
JJ Yeley – Is anything good going to come from picking JJ Yeley at Talladega? At Dega, he’s finished 36th or worse in 3 of his last 4 races, so the odds don’t look good! In 2021, Yeley raced once at Talladega and in the spring, he finished 26th. In his three starts prior to that his finishes were 36th, 36th and 38th. Yeley is driving the #55 for Motorsports Business Management, and you can’t be in a worse competitive situation than that! At Daytona earlier this year, Yeley missed the Daytona 500 piloting this ride and finished 19th in his Duel 150.
