NASCAR heads to the gigantic Talladega Superspeedway for Xfinity and Cup series action this weekend, with the premier series taking to the 2.66-mile oval on Sunday, April 24.
How different will the racing with the Next Gen car look at Talladega compared to the Daytona 500 two months ago? Is not having practice a harbinger of things to come with the Big One on Saturday and Sunday? Hosts Bryan Nolen and Adam Cheek discuss these topics and more ahead of the second superspeedway race of the season.
