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

NASCAR undergoes a drastic surface change as drivers move from the half-mile dirt track in Bristol to the largest asphalt track in Talladega.

GEICO 500 is the tenth NASCAR Cup Series race and will be held next weekend at Talladega Superspeedway in Lincoln, Alabama. The race will start at 3 pm EST on FOX and MRN.

The GEICO 500 is contested over 188 laps on the 2.66-mile-long tri-oval asphalt track. The venue will host the 106th race in the series’ history.

Talladega Superspeedway hosted its first Cup Series race in 1969, with Richard Brickhouse taking the win.

The venue, in turn, features 33 degrees of banking, with 16.5 degrees of banking on the tri-oval and 3 degrees on the backstretch; drivers have to work together in the draft to succeed. It is similar to Daytona International Speedway but longer.

Three open cars will take the starting grid for this week’s NASCAR Cup Series race — #44 NY Racing’s Greg Biffle, #55 MBM Motorsports‘s JJ Yeley, and #62 Beard Motorsports’ Noah Gragson.

RFK Racing driver Brad Keselowski won last year’s GEICO 500 and finished with a total time of 3 hours, 26 minutes, and 30 seconds.
