Even Mother Nature herself is a Tyler Reddick fan.<\/p>\n

Rain descended upon Talladega’s iconic thoroughfare on Saturday morning, bringing out the red flag.<\/p>\n

Reddick was the beneficiary of the slick conditions, climbing to the top of the starting lineup. It’s a place he has grown increasingly familiar with in recent months.<\/p>\n

With that, here’s what you need to know about the pole-sitter and starting order for the 2026 Jack Link’s 500 at Talladega.<\/p>\n

Who won the Jack Link’s 500 pole for 2026?<\/p>\n

Qualifying was canceled due to inclement weather. Qualifying results were determined by the rule book metric, with Tyler Reddick capturing the pole — his fifth of the season.<\/p>\n

Reddick will look to continue his hot streak at another one of NASCAR’s hallowed ground. Following his triumph at Kansas, Reddick is up to five wins in the Cup Series season. He is one of just four drivers in NASCAR’s modern era to win five of the first nine races in NASCAR’s top flight, joining Richard Petty (1975), Cale Yarborough (1977) and Dale Earnhardt Sr. (1987).<\/p>\n

Reddick will be joined by Hendrick Motorsport standout Kyle Larson on the front row. His 23XI Racing teammate, Bubba Wallace, will start in the second row alongside 23XI Racing co-owner Denny Hamlin.<\/p>\n
