ABOUT TALLAGEDA SUPERSPEEDAY

Talladega Superspeedway is one of NASCAR’s most iconic tracks, famous for its massive grandstands, superspeedway racing, and unmatched fan atmosphere. Opened in 1969, this 2.66-mile tri-oval is the longest oval on the NASCAR calendar and quickly earned a reputation as the home of high speeds and dramatic finishes.

With its steep 33-degree banking and wide racing surface, Talladega produces the tight pack racing and drafting battles that define superspeedway competition. The track is also known for “the Big One” – the multi-car crashes that can happen in the blink of an eye, adding to the unpredictability and drama of every race weekend.

The facility seats more than 80,000 fans, with excellent views across the oval. From the main grandstands, spectators can follow nearly the entire lap, making it one of the most immersive race-day experiences in motorsports.

The YellaWood 500 each fall is Talladega’s marquee NASCAR Cup Series event, serving as a crucial Playoff race that often shakes up the championship picture. The weekend also features the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series and ARCA Menards Series, creating a full three-day lineup of racing action.

Beyond the track, Talladega is famous for its Fan Zone and infield party scene, offering interactive displays, driver appearances, concerts, and unique pre-race traditions like the wildest driver introductions in NASCAR. Free parking and a variety of fan-friendly amenities make it easy to enjoy everything the speedway has to offer.

For fans, a trip to Talladega Superspeedway is more than a race – it’s a bucket-list experience. Whether it’s your first visit or part of a long-standing tradition, the YellaWood 500 delivers the kind of spectacle you’ll only find at NASCAR’s biggest and baddest track.
