BACK IN ACTION AT ‘DEGA: The NASCAR Cup Series returned to action this weekend at Talladega Superspeedway, following the lone off weekend of the season. Drivers took to the 2.66-mile superspeedway for single-car qualifying on Saturday, with the session featuring two rounds to set the starting lineup for Sunday’s Jack Link’s 500. Talladega also kicks off an intense stretch to close out the year, as the Cup Series embarks on a 28-week run of consecutive races — the longest in series history — including the non-points All-Star Race.

Team Penske has recorded 11 total Cup Series victories at Talladega, with 10 of those coming in the last 21 events. Joey Logano and Ryan Blaney have contributed three wins apiece to that total, with Blaney delivering the organization’s most recent triumph at the high-banked track in the fall of 2023.
