Talladega Superspeedway announced today that once again the famed superspeedway will play a crucial role during The Chase as NASCAR returns to high banks of Alabama in April and October of 2027. Fans will have two opportunities to witness a full slate of high-stakes racing at the biggest and baddest track in NASCAR.
The traditional spring weekend returns with the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series and NASCAR Cup Series providing an opportunity to gain points in a pivotal superspeedway clash early in the season April 24-25, 2027.
In the fall, The Chase will be in full swing as all three NASCAR national series head back to Talladega Superspeedway Oct. 29-31, 2027. The October race weekend will be pivotal to helping set the field for drivers who will compete for a championship at the end of the 2027 season.
