After no racing over Easter, the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series continues at Talladega Superspeedway this weekend, with qualifying ahead of the Jack Link's 500 taking place today, Saturday, April 26.

Last time out at Bristol, it was Alex Bowman who secured pole position for the Food City 500. However, come race day, another Hendrick Motorsports star proved dominant — Kyle Larson.

Larson led for an impressive 411 of the 500 racing laps at the Tennessee track, winning the race and denying Denny Hamlin a 2025 Cup Series three-peat.

Talladega is a very different proposition from the short track at Bristol, however, with the race this weekend marking NASCAR's return to superspeedway action.

The 2.66-mile tri-oval is known as the largest oval on the NASCAR schedule, with up to 33 degrees of banking in some parts.
