All eyes will be on Talladega Superspeedway this weekend for the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series GEICO 500. The venue is set to host two days of intense high-speed stock car racing as the circus heads to the former Anniston Air Force Base, where the track is located.
The 'Dega' is set to make its first out of two appearances on the Cup Series calendar this year. Teams and drivers are set to re-visit the track later in the year on October 2, 2022 for the YellaWood 500.
The governing body is back to its traditional qualifying format this Saturday after opting for four heat races at Bristol Motor Speedway last weekend. The coming weekend involves no practice sessions and teams and drivers are expected to go straight from qualifying into the race on Sunday.
Notable NASCAR journalist Bob Pockrass elaborated on Twitter and posted the complete qualifying order, writing:
"Cup and Xfinity qualifying order for Talladega. Both series have two rounds with top-10 to second (final) round. Single-car one-lap runs. No practice. Tech, qualify and impound. NXS is 41 entries for 38 spots. All 39 make Cup race."

GEICO 500 is set to be a thriller of a weekend if the previous races are anything to go by.
