NASCAR TV Schedule: How to Watch Every Race at Talladega

NASCAR is down in Alabama this weekend at one of the series' most famous tracks, Talladega Superspeedway. The pinnacle of the weekend will be on Sunday when the Cup Series goes green for the Jack Link's 500. Accompanying them will be the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series for the Ag-Pro 300 on Saturday. The Truck Series is on an off week.

The weekend will be star-studded with more than usual entries in the Cup, with 41 total drivers. To watch every single practice session, qualifying session, and race, fans need guidance. Below, that issue is solved with the Talladega Viewing Schedule.

The absence of the Truck Series is replaced on Saturday afternoon as the ARCA Mendards Series runs a light 76-mile race. The race will feature some bigger names in the NASCAR community, including Cleetus McFarland and Squirrel McNutt, dual YouTube personalities.

For those fans on scene, you can also catch Gio Ruggiero, Taylor Reimer, and Bobby Earnhardt as names of note.

Who to Watch

The O'Reilly Auto Parts Series includes feature part-time entries, including Natalie Decker and JJ Yeley. For the most part, they will have a near-zero chance of winning. Your big names to watch are the usual suspects: Justin Allgaier, Jesse Love, Brent Crews, Rajah Caruth, and many others.

The feature open entries to the Cup Series include reigning O'Reilly Series Champion Jesse Love and Casey Mears, who makes his 500th career Cup start. The defending winner at Talladega is the No. 19 of Chase Briscoe, having won the fall race last October.
