Here’s what you should know about the odds board:

The favorites: Joey Logano and Ryan Blaney are the early Talladega seeds, tied at +1000. However, in this race in the spring of 2025, 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 have three Cup wins at this 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 total points. In this race last year, he started 26th but finished 14th.
