Talladega Superspeedway not only delivered NASCAR three fantastic races this weekend (April 24-26), it also brought the sport three first-time winners with one memorable post-race celebration from Carson Hocevar.
Join host Eric Schneck as he breaks down the running of the Jack Link’s 500 from Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday (April 26). Schneck talks about the impact of the Big One, which involved a staggering 26 cars within the 40-car field and completely changed the complexion of the race.
Schneck also touches on the new stage lengths at Talladega and looks at Carson Hocevar‘s first career NASCAR Cup Series win, along with his post-race celebration that will be replayed for years to come.
Joining Schneck this week are Frontstretch reporters Dalton Hopkins and Michael Massie, who give their thoughts live from Talladega.
Wrapping up this week’s show, Schneck touches on the comers and goers of the Cup Series points standings and looks ahead to next weekend’s racing at Texas Motor Speedway.
