Points leader Denny Hamlin and former champions Brad Keselowski, Kevin Harvick and Chase Elliott are among the drivers who have yet to win a Cup race this season entering Sunday’s race at Talladega Superspeedway.

All four are former winners at the track. Keselowski has five wins at Talladega, Hamlin has two and Harvick and Elliott have one each.

Should any of them win, it will continue this season of parity in Cup. Eight different drivers have won in the first nine races of the year. The last time the series raced on a superspeedway, Michael McDowell won, claiming the checkered flag in the Daytona 500.
