The 31st race of the NASCAR YellaWood 500 season 2022 will take place in Talladega, which is located in Alabama. Talladega Superspeedway is an enormous racetrack that spans 2.66 miles and is distinguished by exceptionally high-bank curves that range between 32 and 33 degrees. In addition, this consists of a tri-oval with a bank of 16.5 degrees. Bettors have slightly preferred Chase Elliott and his Chevrolet, which is currently in second place. Is there a chance that a Ford or another Chevy will take first place?
A week has passed since the AutoTrader Echopark Automotive 500, which Tyler Reddick won despite a chaotic race that included multiple collisions, bumps, and other obstacles.
Here are the NASCAR YellaWood 500 odds
Elliott is the pre-race favorite to win this race with odds of +1200, and Kyle Larson is just behind him with odds of +1400. The next group of drivers is all within the range of +1300 to +1600 in their ratings. Because this is a superspeedway, you may anticipate a great deal of mayhem. Because of all the banking, it doesn’t take much for things like crashes to happen.
When the green flag drops for the Sunday afternoon race that will begin at about 2:00 pm Eastern Time on NBC Network, NASCAR drivers will start their engines on the 2.66-mile, 60-60-68 stage lap configuration.
Joey Logano and Ryan Blaney are currently leading Talladega?
Yes, both the sound and the appearance of this are extraordinary. However, the Superspeedway brings new odds that may be found in other sites. At Caesars, for instance, Bubba Wallace, Joey Logano, and Ryan Blaney are all listed as co-favorites with odds of +1200. Many people will be talking about Logano and Blaney from Team Penske, so get ready for that. While Blaney has won this race twice, Logano has taken first place in both 2015 and 2016.
Chase Elliott is now tied for second place at Caesars this week, and his current chip count is +1300. At Caesars, Denny Hamlin moved to +1300, while Kyle Larson remained at +1400. The odds provided by Caesars Sportsbook are merely a rearrangement of some of the best drivers.
Who will come out on top at the Texas race on the second of October? Sunday is the next day of the “Round of 12.” In conclusion, not a single driver competing for Chase has been victorious in the playoffs.

There is Never a Boring Moment
In the first three races of the NASCAR postseason, we have seen Erik Jones win at Darlington, Bubba Wallace win at Kansas, and Chris Buescher wins at Bristol. Every driver who did not make it into the playoffs took home their first victory of the year.
Tyler Reddick was victorious in the race that took place over the weekend in Texas. Even though he has already taken the checkered flag once this year, this does not imply that the race was typical.
At Texas Motor Speedway, the scorching sun hammering down on the track helped contribute to the fact that there were 16 caution flags, one red flag, and seven drivers eliminated from the race. Last weekend’s trip to Talladega Superspeedway included a total of over six hours of racing action, so it is difficult to predict what may take place during this weekend’s visit.

Predictions for the NASCAR YellaWood 500
The spring race was won by Ross Chastain (+1600), but he is also an active postseason driver. If he wins this race, it would defy the trend of non-playoff drivers winning the most recent four races.
The same can be said about Blaney (+1200), who has already triumphed at Talladega in 2019 and 2020. Wallace (+1400) is the current champion. However, in the past six years, no one has been able to defend their title successfully.
Another unexpected winner takes home the checkered flag this week, and that person is Kevin Harvick. Why wouldn’t he turn things around and win now that he is eliminated from the playoffs and has been beaten up throughout the entire postseason?
In 2022, this is how NASCAR operates. In addition, four of Harvick’s previous five races at Talladega have resulted in him finishing inside the top ten.
