The NASCAR Cup Series arrives at Talladega Superspeedway today (Saturday, October 5th) for the 2024 YellaWood 500 qualifying.
Last time out at Kansas, the playoff show was stolen by Ross Chastain who emerged victorious after 267 laps of action in the Hollywood Casino 400, with Kyle Busch suffering heartbreak as he looks for a Cup Series win for the 20th consecutive season.

This weekend, the 12 remaining playoff stars will be keen to put that right and have the W next to their name, particularly with the next playoff cut soon approaching.
At present, Tyler Reddick, Daniel Suarez, Chase Briscoe, and Austin Cindric are below the dotted line, but there is still plenty of racing to be done and time for those names to ensure they advance.
William Byron currently leads the way in the playoff order, with Ryan Blaney and Christopher Bell close behind.
