It’s like that at any superspeedway, anything can happen and anyone can win.
And fans and players might want to keep that in mind when the NASCAR Cup Series heads to legendary Talladega for the Jack Link’s 500 on Sunday, April 26 (3 p.m. ET, FOX).
When it comes to winning, Tyler Reddick has done more of it this year than any other driver. He has entered Victory Lane in five of the first nine races. Two of those wins came at Daytona and Atlanta, both superspeedways.
Will Reddick grab the checkered flag again at ‘Dega?
Let’s take a look at the odds at the DraftKings Sportsbook for April 22nd.

Here’s what you need to know about the odds board:
The favourites: Joey Logano and Ryan Blaney are the early favorites for Talladega, tied at +1000. However, in this spring 2025 race, Blaney had a DNF and Logano was disqualified after being penalized for a spoiler violation in post-race inspection. The pair fared slightly better when the series returned to Talladega last fall, with Logano finishing 16th and Blaney 23rd. Logano and Blaney both have three career Cup wins on the track.
One to watch: Can Tyler Reddick’s hot hand be stopped? In addition to wins at Daytona and Atlanta, the driver of the No. 45 Toyota has wins this season at COTA, Darlington and Kansas. He has led 199 laps this year, has 74 stage points and 457 points in total. In this race last year he started 26th but finished 14th.
