Talladega Superspeedway

The Talladega Superspeedway is a race track located near the city of Lincoln, Alabama primarily used for auto racing motorsports events. Originally designed to be a longer and faster alternative to tracks like the Daytona International Speedway, the Talladega Superspeedway is a 2.660 miles (4.281 km) tri-oval where the fastest ever speeds achieved by a NASCAR vehicle on a closed oval were recorded in 2004, when Rusty Wallace drove his car 216.309 mph (348.116 km/h) down the straightaway. Due to many crashes, mishaps, and even fatalities (including one where a car jumped the fence, leading to higher barriers being erected around tracks nationwide, though mercifully no spectators were harmed), there have long been rumors of a “Talladega Curse” originating from a Native American chief being thrown from his horse or a vengeful shaman seeking revenge against those who had wronged him (or something like that). With so much history, speed, and high stakes drama, it is no wonder that racing fans flock year after year to the Talladega Superspeedway for motorsports.
