Forty cars will line up on Sunday to compete in what will likely be one of NASCAR's most chaotic races of the season.

The NASCAR Cup Series is hosting the second Round of 12 race at Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama. Although the weather may cause some delays, the drivers will race 188 laps in order to advance to the next round. With 40 cars on the track, crashes and collisions will be challenging to avoid.

Denny Hamlin is the defending Talladega champion, stealing victory in 2020 by .023 seconds. Coming off a win at Las Vegas Motor Speedway last week, Hamlin already secured his position into the next round. Hamlin and Kyle Busch are expected to lead into the green flag, followed by Chase Elliott and Ryan Blaney.

Team Penske has won five of the last seven playoff races at Talladega, and Ford has nine drivers with prior wins. Eighth-place driver Brad Keselowski leads the manufacturer with six wins, including the spring 2021 event. Seventh-place driver Joey Logano has three wins for Ford; Blaney has two and Kevin Harvick, one.
