It was David Reutimann, with a lap speed of 197.159 mph, on top of the speed charts in the final Good Sam Club 500 practice session at Talladega Superspeedway.
-------------------------------
Second on the speed charts with a lap speed of 197.143 mph, was Martin Truex, Jr., followed by Joey Logano (196.350), Kyle Busch (196.346) and Jimmie Johnson (196.306).
-------------------
You can see where this is going, right. It's one teammate after another in the two car tandem racing.
--------------------
Rounding out the top-ten fastest during final practice was Dale Earnhardt, Jr. (196.302), Juan Pablo Montoya (196.025), Jamie McMurray (196.025), Mark Martin (195.632) and of course his drafting partner, Jeff Gordon (195.624).
------------------------
It was interesting once again to watch all the two-car teams in action today.
--------------------
In the first session Greg Biffle and Carl Edwards teamed up to be fastest followed by the Martin-Gordon duo. We also saw Marcos Ambrose and A.J. Allmendinger post some fast times together.
---------------
It was interesting watching Kurt Busch team with his restrictor-plate buddy Regan Smith, even though he has a teammate in Brad Keselowski. Busch and Ragan have teamed up all season in the plate races, including the Gatorade Duel which Busch won.
