After a brief hiatus, the NASCAR Cup Series roars back to life at the wild card of all wild cards: Talladega Superspeedway.
Known for its high-speed chaos and edge-of-your-seat finishes, Talladega is where legends are made and favorites falter.
Ricky Stenhouse Jr. claimed the checkered flag there last October, but all eyes are now on Spire Motorsports, a team that flashed serious speed earlier this season at Daytona International Speedway and Atlanta Motor Speedway.
If you’re headed to the heart of stock car country this weekend, NASCAR has a full slate of appearances and performances lined up — Talladega isn’t just a race; it’s an experience. Here’s who to expect.
