Dean Thompson was fastest overall while Jesse Love was fastest on the 10-lap average in practice for Saturday's NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series race at Martinsville Speedway: 

Kyle Larson leads the points standings with Denny Hamlin and Christopher Bell just narrowly within a race worth of points of him.

Chase Briscoe is almost within range but drivers fifth through seventh, as Ryan Blaney said, have their title hopes on "life support."

Chase Briscoe will lead four Joe Gibbs Racing Toyotas in the top-10 to start Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series race at Talladega Superspeedway. Here's the full lineup:

LINCOLN, Ala. -- Jesse Love earned his fifth NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series pole in the last six races at Talladega Superspeedway.

Love earned the ninth straight pole for Richard Childress Racing at the 2.66-mile track. Austin Hill earned three of those poles and Jeffrey Earnhardt earned the pole to start the streak back in April of 2022. Hill starts fifth for Saturday's race.

Kaden Honeycutt leads Layne Riggs in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Chase. Half of the Chase field is eliminated after Talladega.

LINCOLN, Ala. — Ty Majeski won the pole for Friday afternoon's Love's RV Stop 225 at Talladega Superspeedway.

Majeski will share the front row with Sammy Smith, who announced a deal with TRICON Garage for 2027. TRICON Garage filled up the second row behind Smith with Kaden Honeycutt and Gio Ruggiero starting third and fourth.

Ryan Blaney was fastest overall while Christopher Bell was fastest on the 10-lap average.
