Great tickets are still available for the Sunday’s (Oct. 2) YellaWood 500 (1:00 p.m.), the second race in the NASCAR Cup Series Round of 12 Playoffs. Joey Logano leads the championship standings by 12 over Ross Chastain, who won the GEICO 500 earlier this year at Talladega’s 2.66-mile tri-oval. The top 10 or separated by just 38 points.
