There was far more movement throughout the field and the pack just seemed more dynamic, and less gridlocked than in the past.<\/p>\n<p>Ryan Preece won that race &#8212; his first victory in 249 career starts, and in doing so snatched the final spot inside the Chase from Shane van Gisbergen.<\/p>\n<p>NASCAR will bring that same package back for October&#8217;s Chase race at Talladega Superspeedway, but with one tweak. The original seven-inch spoiler, which was reduced to four inches for Daytona, will lose another half-inch from its total height. Drivers and teams will now have a 3.5-inch rear spoiler for Talladega, with everything else remaining the same as the Daytona package, including the reduction in horsepower.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt seemed like it was a win at Daytona,\u201d said 2010 Daytona 500 winner Jamie McMurray on this week&#8217;s episode of\u00a0NASCAR Inside the Race. \u201cAll the drivers thought they could build a bigger run at Daytona than they had in the past. I applaud NASCAR for taking a little bit more off, taking that next step. The other thing to consider is that Talladega is about eight feet wider than Daytona, so this gives you a little more options if you can generate a run to be able to make a pass. So my anticipation is fairly high for seeing how this works out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carson Hocevar earned his first-career NASCAR Cup Series win in the spring race at Talladega. On October 25, the iconic 2.66-mile Alabama superspeedway will host the eighth of ten Chase races in the Cup championship fight, and is the only drafting track inside the Chase.<\/p>\n<p>Read Also:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sizer\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAABAAAAAJCAYAAAA7KqwyAAAAGXRFWHRTb2Z0d2FyZQBBZG9iZSBJbWFnZVJlYWR5ccllPAAAABpJREFUeNpi\/P\/\/PwMlgImBQjBqwLAwACDAAOVfAw9\/ZDvcAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"title\">Watch: Race Rewind: Larson puts on clinic at Kansas<\/p>\n<p>            We want your opinion!<\/p>\n<p class=\"mt-auto\">What would you like to see on Motorsport.com?<\/p>\n<p>            <a href=\"#\" class=\"ms-link text-link font-bold\">Take our 5 minute survey.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mt-1 text-body\">&#8211; The Motorsport.com Team<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NASCAR overhauled the superspeedway package for the regular season finale at Daytona International Speedway, and it seemed to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":917125,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[446],"tags":[49,48,634,3628,316117,82,105101,98034],"class_list":["post-917124","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nascar","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nascar","tag-nascar-cup","tag-nascar-shortens-spoiler-in-new-tweak-to-superspeedway-package-for-talladega","tag-sports","tag-talladega-ii","tag-talladega-superspeedway"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/917124","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=917124"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/917124\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/917125"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=917124"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=917124"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=917124"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
