Tyler Reddick looks for his sixth win of the season and second in a row when he takes part in Sunday's Jack Link's 500 at Talladega Speedway. Reddick, 30, led for just 10 laps last week but earned the win over Kyle Larson at the AdventHealth 400 at Kansas Speedway. His margin of victory was just 0.118 seconds. Joey Logano is the Jack Link's 500 favorite at +900 (risk $100 to win $900) at FanDuel Sportsbook.
Among the other favorites are Ryan Blaney (+1000), Austin Cindric and Bubba Wallace (+1200), Brad Keselowski, William Byron and Chase Elliott (+1400), Reddick (+1800) and Chase Briscoe (+1900). Sunday's race is set to start at 3 p.m. ET. Team Penske is the +320 favorite to be the winning team for Sunday's race, followed by Hendrick Motorsports (+460) and Joe Gibbs Racing (+550).

For the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series Jack Link's 500 at Talladega Speedway in Talladega, Ala., we can tell you Bobbitt and Greco are backing Ryan Preece over Daniel Suarez (-120 DraftKings) in a head-to-head matchup. "It probably doesn't take much digging to figure out where this card is leaning," Bobbitt said. "We're taking a stance on Ryan Preece. Our primary model has Preece ranked fourth overall this weekend with a projected finish of 12.1. For a little context, the top driver in that same model is Joey Logano at 11.1. That's how tight the margins are at a place like this. Our more aggressive model pushes Preece even further up the board, projecting him at 10.75.
"That's more than enough for us. It puts the outright and top-10 firmly in play, and it gives us the confidence to attack a couple of matchups where the numbers say the edge is real. Daniel Suarez checks in at a 14.7 projected finish, Carson Hocevar at 14.8. In a format where everything is compressed, those are actionable gaps. So yeah… we're going down with the Preece ship if it comes to that."
