How to watch 2025 NASCAR tripleheader at Talladega live on TV

Denny Hamlin earned an emotional victory at Las Vegas, securing his 60th career win and locking himself into the Championship 4.

The playoff fight continues this weekend with Talladega becoming part of the penultimate round for the 2025 season. Kyle Larson +35), Christopher Bell (+20), and Chase Briscoe (+15) are the other three drivers above the cutline. William Byron (-15), Chase Elliott (-23), Joey Logano (-24), and Ryan Blaney (-31) are all in the elimination zone.

While Penske sits seventh and eighth in the standings, their drivers have won often at Talladega, including the most recent race at the historic superspeedway with Austin Cindric. Hyak Motorsports’ Ricky Stenhouse Jr. is the defending winner of the fall race, taking victory in a photo finish.
