The NASCAR schedule returns to Talladega Superspeedway, where Goodyear is deploying familiar Racing Eagle tire setups across the Cup, Xfinity, and Truck Series. Teams will rely on proven tire configurations as they chase draft dynamics and race strategy on the high-speed, high-stakes superspeedway.

Talladega's unpredictable nature could dramatically shift the playoff picture in each series, with Chase Elliott and other playoff drivers navigating the unique challenges posed by the venue's speed and pack racing dynamics.

Additionally, Mason Maggio will drive the No. 91 Chevrolet for DGM Racing in the Talladega Xfinity playoff race, backed by Denssi Energy Pouches, signaling opportunities for emerging talents to showcase their skills at a critical moment in the season.
