NASCAR Cup PR

Sweet Home Alabama is the site of what is guaranteed to be an action-packed NASCAR Cup Series race this Sunday.

The general thinking in the NASCAR garage is that the goal going into a race at Talladega Superspeedway is to position yourself to have a shot at the win in the closing laps.

Toyota drivers are back on the high banks of Talladega Superspeedway for three races in two days. On Saturday, the ARCA Menards Series and NASCAR Xfinity Series complete a doubleheader before the Cup Series takes to the track on Sunday.

Talladega Superspeedway will host a weekend of racing in the NASCAR XFINITY and NASCAR Cup Series, beginning on Saturday afternoon. Ford has won 30 Cup races at the Alabama racetrack, including last season when Team Penske driver Ryan Blaney took the checkered flag.

Spire Motorsports announced today the Fraternal Order of Eagles (F.O.E.) will sponsor the team’s No. 77 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE with driver Justin Haley in Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series (NCS) GEICO 500 at Talladega Superspeedway.

It stands more than 38 inches tall, weighs over 130 pounds, and is called the Vulcan Trophy.

Newman makes his 39th Cup start at Talladega this weekend where he has 16 top-10s and seven top fives with an average finish of 18.5

Buescher makes his 12th Cup start at Talladega on Sunday where he has an average finish of 20.5 with one top-10. He led four laps on his way to a sixth-place run in this race a season ago.

Matt DiBenedetto, driver of the No. 21 Motorcraft/Quick Lane Ford Mustang in the NASCAR Cup Series for the Wood Brothers, is coming off his first top-10 finish of the 2021 season after a ninth-place run at Richmond Raceway on Sunday.

As the NASCAR Cup Series head to the Most Competitive race track on the planet – Talladega Superspeedway – for the running of the GEICO 500 this Sunday (April 25), one of the top storylines will beg the question: Will we see another first-time Cup winner in the track’s iconic Victory Lane?
