NASCAR 2022 at Talladega: Preview, prediction and betting odds for GEICO 500 at Talladega Superspeedway

The GEICO 500 at Talladega Superspeedway this Sunday will mark the 10th NASCAR Cup Series race of the 2022 season. The race is set to go live for 500-miles of intense nail-biting racing action at 3 p.m. EST.

After racing on short-tracks and dirt-tracks for the past few weekends, Talladega is set to bring the fans with the high-speed jeopardy of the 33° banked Superspeedway. Located at the former Anniston Air Force Base, the 2.6-mile-long oval is the longest track on the NASCAR calendar.

Since opening in 1969, the track has hosted the GEICO 500 since 1970, with Pete Hamilton taking the victory that year. Since then, a lot of drivers have won at the famed track, with Brad Keselowski winning last year for Team Penske.
