The NASCAR Cup Series Round of 12 takes place this weekend at the YellaWood 500 race at the Talladega Superspeedway.
The last time the Talladega Superspeedway held a race, on April 21, Tyler Reddick ended up winning what turned out to be a chaotic bout between all drivers.
With just five rounds remaining before the Championship Race on November 10 at Phoenix Raceway in Arizona, the battle for the Drivers' Championship is heating up. The stakes are higher than ever as drivers make their final push in what promises to be a thrilling end to the season, with the title chase going down to the wire.
William Byron, on 3074 points, currently leads the pack. However, Ryan Blaney and Christopher Bell (both on 3068 points) are hot on his heels.
Here is everything you need to know about the YellaWood 500 race in Talladega, including viewing options and start time for the race.
