YellaWood 500

The YellaWood 500, held annually at the Talladega Superspeedway, is one of the three Round of 12 NASCAR Cup Series Playoff races that determine which drivers and their cars will move on to the Round of 8 (and then the Championship 4). Drivers are obviously desperate to take maximum points from the YellaWood 500 in order to have the best chance to qualify and take a shot at the overall championship title, as well as to grab their share of the $8,806,315 (as of 2023) prize. The YellaWood 500 is a 188-lap marathon around the Talladega Superspeedway’s 2.66-mile asphalt tri-oval track, a grueling test for any driver and his vehicle. Fans love to congregate and camp over at the track for the whole race weekend, taking in all the tailgating and parties along with the tire-squealing, engine-revving action on the track.

Talladega Superspeedway

The Talladega Superspeedway is an auto race track located near the city of Lincoln, Alabama primarily used for 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 that saw the fastest speeds ever recorded by a NASCAR vehicle (on a closed oval) when Rusty Wallace pushed his car to 216.309 mph (348.116 km/h) racing down the straightaway. Due to many crashes, mishaps, and even fatalities, 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. With so much history, speed, and high-stakes drama, it is no wonder that racing fans flock year after year to the Talladega Superspeedway. The best-known race hosted at Talladega Superspeedway is probably the YellaWood 500 of the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs, which shares a race weekend with the United Rentals 250 of the NASCAR Xfinity Series and Love’s RV Stop 225 of the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.
