Talladega #NASCAR Cup Drivers to Watch

Talladega #NASCAR Cup Drivers to Watch

#NASCARPlayoffs | #YellaWood500


The NASCAR Cup Series, Xfinity Series and Craftsman Truck Series continue the playoff action this weekend in Alabama, each continuing their respective Round of 8s at Talladega Superspeedway.

 

Below is a list of Cup driver to keep your eye on:

 



Tyler Reddick: The No. 45 23XI Racing driver won the 2024 spring Talladega race and has three top 10s in 11 Talladega Cup starts. 


He’s also finished top six in four of the last nine races on superspeedways.

 

Of course, the health of his baby son, Rookie has to be a negative distraction.

 







Austin Cindric: While no longer in the Cup playoffs, Cindric is arguably NASCAR’s current best superspeedway driver. 

He’s the most recent Talladega winner, and six of his 12 top-five finishes at the Cup level have come on superspeedways. 

Look for him to also connect with his playoff teammates toward the front of the field.

 







Ricky Stenhouse Jr. : All four of Stenhouse’s Cup Series victories have come on superspeedways.

Further, he is the defending winner of the Talladega playoff race. 

He enters Sunday’s race with five finishes of sixth or better in the last 10 superspeedway events.

 







Alex Bowman: The No. 48 Hendrick driver has yet to win on a superspeedway, and his finishes can tend to flip-flop at these types of tracks. 


However, Bowman has two finishes of seventh or better in the last three Talladega races, and he’s posted seven top 10s in the last 13 superspeedway races.

 







Justin Haley: Both of Haley’s Talladega top 10s have come in the last four races at the track, and he has four top-15 results in the last 14 races. 


One can’t forget that Haley was dominant at superspeedways in the Xfinity Series with Kaulig Racing and owns two Talladega victories (both in 2020).
