Final Talladega Driver Ratings: 2018 Geico 500

Jamie McMurray had a spectacular wreck Friday during final practice. He was fastest before wrecking. He is using a back-up car in Sunday's Geico 500.

FYI...Unlike most weeks, the final practice speeds in restrictor-plate races mean little to the overall final driver rating equation. This is still a major crap shoot, lottery, dart board or grab bag.
