Talladega Superspeedway is scheduled to host the first of its two races on the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series schedule this Sunday afternoon.
This 188-lap race around the four-turn, 2.66-mile (4.281-kilometer) high-banked Lincoln, Alabama oval, which is now officially known as the Jack Link's 500, is the 10th race on the regular season schedule.
It is the third superspeedway race of the year and first since the season's first and second races were contested at Daytona International Speedway and Atlanta Motor Speedway.
Due to Talladega's status as a superspeedway, a slightly different qualifying format is set to be used for Saturday's qualifying session, versus the standard qualifying session at a non-superspeedway oval.
Like at all ovals, there are no groups, and drivers are still lined up in reverse metric order. But there are two rounds, not just one; the fastest 10 drivers in round one advance to the round two shootout for the pole position.
If you are unfamiliar with the metric, NASCAR introduced a new two-variable formula over the offseason after using a slightly more complicated four-variable formula from 2020 to 2024. A full breakdown of the formula can be found here.
Here is the full qualifying order for Saturday's session.
