NASCAR at Talladega: Start time, lineup, TV schedule and more for GEICO 500
NASCAR heads to its wildest and most unpredictable track for superspeedway pack racing in Talladega, Alabama.
Expect bumper-to-bumper racing and a handful of crazy crashes — including "The Big One" — as drivers navigate multiple lanes at the 2.66-mile track.
You'd probably be safe to bet on a Ford to win, as the blue oval has triumphed at 12 of the past 17 Cup races at Talladega Superspeedway. But given how the 2021 season has gone so far — with only one repeat winner in nine races, and none yet by the best driver so far this season, Denny Hamlin — the best bet is to expect the unexpected.
