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,

national series head back to Talladega Superspeedway Oct. 29-31, 2027.

season.

weekends giving our fans multiple opportunities to experience
high-stakes action at this incredible venue,” said Josh Harris, Region

into the grandstands and seeing the passion the fans have for NASCAR in
the heart of Alabama is extremely rewarding and we look forward to
seeing action-packed racing return next spring and fall.”
