Kyle Larson has six NASCAR Cup Series wins this season, spending most of 2021 as the championship favorite. He enters the YellaWood 500 (Sunday, 2 p.m. ET, NBC) with a 57-point gap on the cutline, what should be a comfy position with two races left in the Round of 12. Martin Truex Jr., sitting fourth, has a 31-point edge of his own, compiling an average finish of 4.0 four races into the NASCAR playoffs.
So why do neither one of them feel safe?
The most unpredictable track in all of NASCAR looms large on the horizon: Talladega Superspeedway. This 2.66-mile tri-oval could literally shake up a dozen title contenders in a matter of seconds, its habit for multi-car wrecks and surprise winners leaving every championship contender on edge.
“We will cross our fingers, cross our toes,” Truex said. “Do some praying this week and go to Talladega and see what happens.”
Don’t believe me? Check out what just happened in Saturday’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race. A 21-truck wreck on lap 59 sent a dozen drivers into the garage early, sparking a series of incidents and contact that continued on through the final lap of the race.
Coming off turn 4, underdog Tate Fogleman saw an opening, his only chance to win this year in subpar equipment. That meant Truck championship favorite John Hunter Nemechek became easy prey as the No. 12 turned the No. 4 heading to the start/finish line, winning the first race of his NASCAR career.
Playoffs be damned, right? In that series, Zane Smith lost 21 points on the cutline, just like that, despite having a Truck capable of winning the race. The only reason why is he happened to be in the wrong place, wrong time at a track that often gives drivers no time to react when the Big One breaks out.
See why all the championship drivers are sweating bullets? There’s a valid argument to be made a track like ‘Dega, with an inability for so many to control their own fate, shouldn’t be a part of the playoff schedule. But no one will argue racing here keeps it interesting, the one place all year where literally every car in the field could find themselves a winner if the draft (and the crashes) break their way.
Some are better at pack racing than others; Brad Keselowski leads all active drivers with six career Talladega wins. By comparison, Larson hasn’t ever finished inside the top 5 here or at Daytona in his Cup career. Most guys are somewhere in the middle, doing their best to simply stick around to the finish while learning where and how to make their moves in the draft when it counts.
And when they do pull out of line? There’s no margin for error. Just one mistake could mean a multi-car wreck that scores you one point for 36th or worse, sitting in the garage while someone else is finishing second and producing a 50-point swing (or more) in the standings.
So get ready for a wild ride, a rollercoaster of lead changes until the very last second (‘Dega’s averaged 50 the last three events here). Who will be able to pull the best strategy, catch all the right breaks and snake their way to the front at the finish?

JGR pulled the right slot machine out in Las Vegas, finishing 1-3-4 with Denny Hamlin winning his second race of the playoffs and securing a spot inside the Round of 8. He’s the only one breathing a sigh of relief this weekend, knowing no matter how mangled the No. 11 Toyota gets he’s still assured a chance to make the Championship 4 at Phoenix Raceway.
