I have a serious question for @NASCAR drivers on Talladega Superspeedway: Would breaking the 500-mile races into FOUR Stages instead of THREE change anything at all? Similar to the Coke 600. Like having four 47-lap Stages instead of a long Stage followed by two 45-lap ones? #NASCAR

Some of the most interesting statistics from the 2026 YellaWood 500 at Talladega Superspeedway have to do with Ty Dillon. Made 43 passes; the next worst was Joey Gase with 130. Most was Chase Briscoe with 445. Credited for 0 "Quality Passes"; He and Zane Smith (5) were the only drivers in single digits. Most was Shane van Gisbergen with 269. He had the fewest laps inside the top 15 (five); the next-worst was John Hunter Nemechek with 10. His nine fastest laps tied Ryan Preece and Ty Gibbs for the second-most in the event. Chris Buescher had the most with 10. Daniel Suárez and Ryan Blaney were the only two drivers to not record a single fastest lap. Of the 10 aforementioned drivers, he finished ahead of nine of them. His 15th-place finish was his best finish since Nashville (12th). Kept the car clean and got a good result from it! #NASCAR

Bring back the 4-mile Alabama International Motor Speedway Road Course instead of Talladega Superspeedway in October. #NASCAR

STOP THE COUNT #NASCAR

Since 2023 at Talladega Superspeedway, the three drivers with the highest average rating at the track are Joey Logano (85.8), Ryan Preece (84.5), and Bubba Walllace (82.9). What’s funny about their ratings is of all drivers to compete in one race at the track since then, Logano has the 47th best average finish, Preece the 34th best and Wallace the 26th. In the 21 combined starts, those three have 1 top 5 and 7 DNFs, which shows that sometimes the best performers aren’t the ones who see Victory Lane. #NASCAR

Hope everyone had a Happy Pythagorean Triple Day! 10-24-26

In Rackley W.A.R.’s final NASCAR Truck Series race, Dawson Sutton earns the fastest lap at Talladega Superspeedway. #NASCAR

Dawson Sutton is an incredible wheelman. Glad he’s getting a chance with TRICON in 2027. #NASCAR

It looks like Chase Elliott removed himself from consideration of the Most Popular Driver award. Much respect to Chase. #NASCAR

I think Kyle Larson should be a little worried about his points lead. Do you? #NASCAR

Just realized that every car/truck that won NASCAR Championships in 2025 are currently leading the standings. 2025 | 2026 Kyle Larson (5) | Kyle Larson (5) Jesse Love (2) | Jesse Love (2) Corey Heim (11) | Kaden Honeycutt (11) #NASCAR

Tyler Reddick back in Victory Lane. #NASCAR recap:

Chase Briscoe (@chasebriscoe) was the ONLY NASCAR Cup Series driver to spend all 312 laps at Phoenix Raceway inside the top 15. In fact, Briscoe’s lowest running position was ninth… meaning he was also the only driver to never leave the top 10. He was also the ONLY driver to have 100% of his passes be considered “Quality Passes” during the Freeway Insurance 500. #NASCAR

2x NASCAR Cup Series Champion and current NASCAR Cup Series points leader Kyle Larson only spent 19 laps inside the top 15 running positions during the Freeway Insurance 500 at Phoenix Raceway. Larson previously finished the first five Chase races all inside the top six. His points lead after one poor performance has shrunk from +49 to +5. #NASCAR
