The 2026 NASCAR Cup Series is graduating to the big leagues this weekend — drivers are heading to Talladega for the Jack Link's 500.

Talladega Superspeedway is known as one of the most iconic tracks on the circuit, and for good reason. The tri-oval is the largest in the Cup Series, measuring 2.66 miles long and with 33 degree banking in the turns. This weekend's race will be a departure from the many short tracks and intermediate ovals we've seen this season. 

Tyler Reddick took the checkered flag last weekend in Kansas City, marking the first time a driver has won five out of nine races in the Cup Series since Dale Earnhardt in 1987. While Talladega is an extremely unpredictable track, fans can expect solid races from William Byron and Brad Keselowski who have historically performed well here. 

You won't want to miss this action-packed race.

Here's everything you need to know about the Jack Link's 500, including TV channel and streaming options for the NASCAR Cup Series race.
