Now, let me tell ya ’bout them Talladega races, honey. Talladega Superspeedway, that’s a big ol’ racetrack down yonder, and it sure brings out some mighty fine drivers. Over the years, there’s been a whole mess of folks who’ve crossed that finish line first, and I’m gonna list some of ’em for ya. You’d be amazed at how many different folks have won that race.
Ya know, folks like Richard Petty, the king of NASCAR, he holds the record for most wins, with a whopping 200 wins in his whole career. But down at Talladega, it’s a different story. Some drivers do better at certain tracks, and Talladega’s one of them places where some folks just seem to have a knack for it. One of ’em is Dale Earnhardt Sr., who, bless his heart, won 10 times at that track. That man, he knew how to race, no doubt about it!
Then there’s Ryan Blaney, he’s been doin’ real good there too. Last I checked, he won his third Talladega race in October 2023. Good ol’ Ryan, always one to keep his foot on that gas. Ain’t no slackin’ for him! And don’t forget Kyle Busch, he’s got himself a few wins at Talladega as well, and you’ll find him in that mix every time they race down there.
Here’s a few of the folks who’ve won Talladega races in recent years:
- 10/6/2024 – Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Starting position 32, in a Chevrolet.
- 4/21/2024 – Tyler Reddick, Starting position 18, in a Toyota.
- 10/1/2023 – Ryan Blaney, Starting position 10, in a Ford.
- 4/23/2023 – Kyle Busch, Starting position 17, in a Chevrolet.
And it ain’t just these fellas, no sir. There’s been a whole lot more. Over them 111 races, they say 52 different drivers have won there, and that’s a lotta folks. Some folks just got the Talladega touch, like Jeff Gordon. He won six times at that track, and boy, he sure gave the fans somethin’ to cheer about with them wins.
Now, you may be wonderin’ who the favorites are for the next Talladega race. Well, I heard Ryan Blaney, Joey Logano, and Kyle Busch are at the top of the list. Folks are also lookin’ at Denny Hamlin and Brad Keselowski, thinkin’ they might give the others a run for their money. They always say it’s hard to tell who’s gonna come out on top ‘til that checkered flag waves, but those five sure do seem to be the ones to watch.
For some folks, Talladega’s been a bit of a lucky place. There’s a lotta drivers who’ve won there more than once. Ain’t that somethin’? In fact, of them 52 different winners, 28 of ’em have won more than once. So, you better believe that when the race comes around, the competition is fierce. And don’t think for a second that anyone’s just givin’ up their spot. Nah, that ain’t how it works down at Talladega.
List of notable Talladega winners:
- Dale Earnhardt Sr. – 10 wins
- Ryan Blaney – 3 wins
- Jeff Gordon – 6 wins
- Kyle Busch – Several wins
So, if you’re watchin’ the next Talladega race, ya better keep an eye on these folks. It don’t matter what the odds say, anything can happen on that track. Talladega’s one of them places where it’s never over ‘til it’s over, and that’s what makes it so excitin’ to watch.
