The NASCAR Cup Series is back pack racing with Sunday’s Geico 500 at Talladega Superspeedway.
Just as dicey will be the racing at the 2.66-mile track, especially with the opportunity awaiting some mid-pack drivers.
Ryan Blaney won at Talladega last fall en route to his first Cup Series Championship.

Blaney has three top-two finishes in the last three Talladega races plus three wins overall at the track since 2019.
Talladega Superspeedway will host the Geico 500 on Sunday, the first race in the NASCAR Cup Series.
It looks like a dicey weather forecast for Sunday into the weekend. Racing at the 2.62-mile track will be equally unpredictable, particularly given the chance that some mid-pack drivers have.
In order to win his first Cup Series Championship, Ryan Blaney had to win at Talladega last fall. His record at the track is impeccable, but this type of racing offers ample opportunity for an unexpected victor.
The Tennessean’s professional predictions for Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race in Talladega are as follows:.
THE PAST WEEK: Chase Elliott snaps his winless streak as the Texas NASCAR Cup race winners and losers.
TEXAS RESULTS: Chase Elliott emerged victorious in the NASCAR Cup race held in Texas. See the complete results below.
Who will win in the Talladega Cup Series race, according to NASCAR predictions?
Joey Logano, No. 1 according to Mike Organ. 22 Ford Team Penske.
Chase Elliott ended his run without a victory at Texas Motor Speedway last week, and veteran driver Joey Logano will do the same at Talladega on Sunday. Last week, Logano finished 11th, extending his streak to 40 races. In addition, Logano will win in 2024, making history as the first Ford driver.
The choice of Tom Kreager: Chase Elliott, No. Nine Hendrick Chevrolet Motorsports.
Alright, the losing run for Chase Elliott is over. It’s time to assemble a new kind of streak now. Elliott has two victories at Talladega. Let’s face it, Hendrick needs to pick up some speed for the superspeedway. All he has to do is stay out of accidents.
No. 1 choice of Nick Gray is Ryan Blaney. Penske Ford 12 Team.
Blaney has three top-two finishes in the last three Talladega races in addition to three wins overall at the track since 2019. He’s the obvious choice at Talladega, isn’t he? Ford could use a boost heading into the summer, and a victory at Talladega would be significant for a company that needs some victories in 2024. Ford must complete this race this week because it is so reliant on outside assistance.
