Talladega Superspeedway, formerly known as Alabama International Motor Speedway, is a motorsports complex located north of Talladega, Alabama. It is located on the former Anniston Air Force Base in the small city of Lincoln. A tri-oval, the track was constructed in 1969 by the International Speedway Corporation, a business controlled by the France family. Talladega is most known for its steep banking. The track currently hosts NASCAR's Cup Series, Xfinity Series and Craftsman Truck Series. Talladega is the longest NASCAR oval with a length of 2.66-mile-long (4.28 km) tri-oval like the Daytona International Speedway, which is 2.5-mile-long (4.0 km).

Kyle Larson was on the pit-road to put down a qualifying lap but Nascar officials saw something with his car and pulled him to the garage. He was not allowed to qualify as the team made an unapproved adjustment to the roof rails as they pushed the car to the grid.

Coming to the checkers, Michael McDowell put a bad block on Brad Keselowski in the tri-oval, triggering a massive wreck behind the leaders, with one car flipping and finishing the race on its side. Tyler Reddick would steal the win from Keselowski and take 23XI Racing to victory lane for the first time in 2024, and the 2nd time at Talladega.
