Two of the national NASCAR series are in action this weekend at Talladega Superspeedway.
Xfinity teams race Saturday. Cup teams close out the weekend Sunday with a 500-mile race.
Chase Briscoe’s recent run has the Stewart-Haas Racing driver in a playoff spot.
ARCA Menards Series teams also will be in action Saturday at the 2.66-mile superspeedway.
