NASCAR YellaWood 500 Picks, Predictions

Kevin Rogers Sports Betting Expert

1 minute read

The fifth race of the NASCAR playoffs heads to Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama on Sunday afternoon for the YellaWood 500.

Four different drivers have captured the checkered flag through the first four playoff races (Joey Logano, Chris Buescher, Kyle Larson, and Ross Chastain). Will that trend continue or will one of those drivers make it back to the winner's circle on Sunday?

Tyler Reddick captured the GEICO 500 in the first Talladega race this season in April, while the likes of Larson, Denny Hamlin, and Christopher Bell all finished 20th or below.

In last year's YellaWood 500, Ryan Blaney emerged victorious, as he broke through following a 2nd-place finish in this event back in 2023.
