NASCAR 2022: Full entry list for YellaWood 500 at Talladega Superspeedway

The NASCAR Cup Series heads to Lincoln, Alabama this weekend for the fifth playoff race of the season. This will be the second race of the Round of 12 after the dramatic AutoTrader EchoPark Automotive 500 last weekend.

The YellaWood 500 marks the 31st NASCAR Cup Series race of the season and will be held on October 2, 2022, at Talladega Superspeedway. The event will begin at 2:00 pm ET and will be broadcast on NBC and MRN.

The race will be contested over 188 laps of the 2.66-mile-long Superspeedway. It marks the 54th annual YellaWood hosted by Talladega Superspeedway in the history of the Cup Series.

Motorsports journalist Bob Pockrass recently took to Twitter to share a list of drivers taking part in the NASCAR YellaWood 500:

37 drivers will take on the green flag, of which 12 playoff drivers will look to start their fourth playoff race on a good note on Sunday. Meanwhile, the drivers that will change this weekend’s docket are #15 Rick Ware Racing’s JJ Yeley, #16 Kaulig Racing’s Daniel Hemric, #62 Beard Motorsports’ Noah Gragson, #77 Spire Motorsports’ Landon Cassill, and #78 Live Fast Motorsports’ BJ McLeod.

23XI Racing driver Bubba Wallace Jr. won last year’s YellaWood 500 and finished with a total time of 2 hours, 23 minutes, and 24 seconds. Wallace Jr. will look to defend his title this weekend.
