The Talladega Superspeedway is all set to host NASCAR GEICO 500 this weekend. The tenth race of the season will kick off at 3:00 pm ET on Sunday, April 23, in a 500-mile action-packed contest.

Located in Lincoln, Alabama, the Talladega Superspeedway boasts the longest oval on the schedule with a 2.66-mile total track length.

The longest track on the NASCAR schedule, the Talladega Superspeedway, opened in 19669 and features 33 degrees of banking at the turn, 16.5 degrees of banking on the tri-oval, and three degrees on the backstretch. Drivers have to work together in the draft to succeed.

Apart from making one of the two appearances on the NASCAR Cup Series calendar this season, the 2.66-mile Superspeedway will also host the Xfinity Series race this weekend.

GEICO 500 will feature 38 drivers. Unlike other NASCAR races, the qualifying session will open this racing weekend on Saturday, April 22, at 10:30 am ET on FS1, which will determine the starting positions for Sunday's race.
