Talladega

Michael Jordan of 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports owner Bob Jenkins made a show of solidarity as the NASCAR race in Alabama over the weekend. The two team owners have refused to sign NASCAR’s charter agreement and have sued the stock car series in federal court for alleged antitrust violations.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. snapped a 65-race losing streak by winning in overtime at Talladega Superspeedway after a late crash collected more than half the field, including eight of the 12 championship contenders. Stenhouse is not in the playoffs and his victory Sunday marked the second consecutive week a driver not competing for the Cup Series title has won.

It’s most fitting that NASCAR this weekend races at Talladega Superspeedway, site of one of the first major disputes between drivers and the top stock car series in the United States. It was at the Alabama track’s 1969 debut race when the NASCAR-despised Professional Driver Association led by Richard Petty deemed the track too dangerous and not ready for competition.

NASCAR is bringing its postseason to Talladega Superspeedway where all three series will continue their championship chases this weekend. The truck series starts things off Friday with the Xfinity Series taking place Saturday before the Cup Series races Sunday.
