Chase Elliott will start from the pole position today at Talladega Superspeedway. In fact, it’s a Hendrick Motorsports lockout on the front two rows.

The HMS group is fast in qualifying and single lap pace. However, that tells you their cars are trimmed out on drag and thus downforce. Meaning, all those cars aren’t likely to handle well in traffic or on long runs.

So, who has the best long run car? The two charts below highlight the best consecutive 5-lap averages from practice one and final practice.

Any driver that made a run of 5 consecutive laps or more is listed on the charts below. Their lap times from the best 5 laps in a row are then averaged.

Denny Hamlin and Clint Bowyer were fastest overall in practice. However, Kevin Harvick is the man to beat.
