WINNER: Jamie McMurray, full results from Talladega
The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series will run its sixth race of the Chase this weekend at Talladega Superspeedway.

Joining Almirola on the pole will be Jeff Burton. The lone car who failed to make the race was Sam Hornish due to owner points dictating who would be in the race.
Entering Sunday’s race Matt Kenseth leads Jimmie Johnson by four points in the point standings with Kevin Harvick 29 points back. Kenseth will start 11th, Johnson 12th and Harvick will start 33rd for Sunday’s race.
