NASCAR Race at Talladega Was Stopped After Joey Logano's Car Goes Airborne in Scary 15-Car Wreck
- On Sunday, October 25, 2026, the NASCAR Cup Series YellaWood 500 at Talladega Superspeedway was red-flagged after a massive 15-car pileup sent three-time champion Joey Logano's car airborne and onto its roof.
- With five laps remaining, Carson Hocevar bumped Logano in the tri-oval, causing the Team Penske driver to lose control and slide across the track into the oncoming field.
- After exiting the wreckage, Logano told NBC Sports he was "just happy to be alive," crediting NASCAR safety improvements and the roll cage for protecting him during the impact.
- Championship leader Kyle Larson won the overtime finish, crossing the line four-hundredths of a second ahead of teammate William Byron, while several competitors sustained damage in the incident.
- Two races remain in the NASCAR postseason, with the series heading to Martinsville Speedway and Homestead-Miami Speedway as drivers compete for the championship following the dramatic Alabama event.
