Of the 10 events that make up the NASCAR Playoffs Chase, Sunday’s will require the most luck by far. Talladega Superspeedway is known for being chaotic, with multi-lane layouts and resulting races at around 200 mph, which always makes for some precarious conditions.
In the uncertainty of this tracking, it is entirely possible to defeat a tired dog following. There are some drivers who have been more successful at Talladega, though, including three-time winner Ryan Blaney, and this year’s spring event winner Carson Hocevar.
You don’t want to miss out on all the mayhem.
Here’s everything you need to know about the YellaWood 400, including the TV channel and streaming options for the NASCAR Playoff race.
