Notes — Cup cars on Daytona tire set-up at Talladega: Being on 18-inch bead diameter tires, NASCAR Cup teams will run a different tire set-up than those in the Xfinity Series at Talladega this weekend . . . the Cup cars will run the same combination of left- and right-side tires that they ran at Daytona in February . . . they have run this left-side tire code at Talladega since 2022 . . . this right-side tire code debuted at Daytona and features a construction update compared to what was run at Talladega last season . . . with this 18-inch tire, and its lower profile sidewall, NASCAR Cup cars do not run inner liners in any of their tires.

Goodyear quote — Stu Grant, Goodyear‘s general manager of global race tires: "Tire wear has increased a little bit over the past several years at Talladega, but we will still see a lot of tire strategy this weekend.  Teams will be able to go with some two-tire and fuel-only pit stops, depending on the situation.  The main thing teams will try to do on superspeedways like Talladega is stay lined up with teammates in order to best work together in the draft."
