Looking for the ROVAL 400? See our Viewer’s Guide!
The YellaWood 500 is next as the NASCAR playoffs roll into the iconic Talladega Superspeedway in Lincoln, Alabama this weekend. The race itself will be on Sunday, October 2nd, 2022 at (EDT). But there’s lots more than the race itself. Read on for all the details: practice, qualifying, and the final race.
In a hurry? You can watch it all on USA with FuboTV.
Last week, Tyler Reddick won the Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 500. He is the first of the original playoff contenders to win a playoff race. But he was knocked out in the first round and is not in the Round of 12.
The big move from last weekend was Joey Logano, who came in second and jumped to the points leader. Meanwhile, last week’s leader, Chase Elliott, did not finish the race and feel to the eighth position.
Unlike previous races, there are no qualifying races. Starting position is based on last week’s performance (50%), points standing (35%), and last week’s fastest lap (15%).

Watch Without Cable
NBC is available OTA in most locations. So all you need to do to watch Sunday’s YellaWood 500 live in HD is to set up an antenna. This is an under-utilized tool of cord-cutters — probably because they imagine antennas from the 1960s. It’s a whole new digital world!
