2024 NASCAR Talladega schedule, entry list, and how to watch

Hendrick Motorsports continued its winning ways at Texas Motor Speedway. Chase Elliott snapped a 42-race winless streak, fending off Denny Hamlin and later Ross Chastain in overtime.

Chastain was on his way to finish second when he was hit from behind by a charging William Byron, sending him spinning into the wall. He finished 32nd.

Larson appeared to have the strongest car at Texas, but suffered a loose wheel mid-race. He still leaves Texas with the championship lead, 17pts clear of Martin Truex Jr., who battled his own pitroad issues, which has resulted in changes to the No. 19 pitcrew. The entire top-six in points are drivers from either Hendrick Motorsports or Joe Gibbs Racing.

We now head to Talladega where Kyle Busch is the defending winner of the April event, but Ryan Blaney is the most recent winner.

This week, Australian Supercars star Cam Waters announced that he will run another NASCAR Truck race at Kansas Speedway in May. NASCAR also suspended over half a dozen crew members for various reasons after the Texas race.
