· His best Cup finish at the track all-time came just two seasons ago where he finished runner-up in the 2017 fall race. He also finished ninth last spring after starting 18th.
· Newman’s average starting spot at the 2.66-mile track is 14.7. He has two career qualifying efforts of third or better, including third in 2005 and second in 2012.

· Graves also called three Xfinity Series events at Talladega, all of which were top-10s. He led Chris Buescher to a runner-up result in 2014 and followed that with a sixth-place finish a year later, before finishing seventh with Suarez in 2016.
QUOTE WORTHY
Newman on racing at Talladega:
“We’re feeling refreshed after the off weekend and ready to get to Talladega in our Acorns Ford. Talladega is a place where your average finishing position and other numbers are usually thrown out the window because you just never know what can happen, especially with a new rules package. In the last couple weeks we’ve shown we’re here to contend and our main priority is to continue that this weekend and be there at the end.”
