When NASCAR's Sprint Cup qualifying wraps up Saturday, one driver will find himself packing for home. There are 41 cars entered at Talladega, meaning an elimination for the second consecutive week.
At stake: a place in the Geico 500, which will start after 1 p.m. ET Sunday. The Cup season's 10th race is also its second restrictor-plate race, following the season-opener at Daytona.
