Hello my friend the Talladega Track has to be one of my favorite,Bristol being another one. Talladega Superspeedway is located in Talladega, Alabama, United States. It was constructed in the 1960s in place of abandoned airport runways by International Speedway Corporation, a business controlled by NASCAR's founding France family along with Daytona International Speedway and several other racetracks. At 2.66 miles long, Talladega is the largest oval track in the Sprint Cup Series and has seating provisions for over 175,000 patrons. In the 2000 season, Earnhardt had a resurgence,He scored what many considered the 2 most exciting wins of the year - winning by .006 seconds over Bobby Labonte at Atlanta, then gaining seventeen positions in the final four laps to win at Talladega, claiming his only No Bull million dollar bonus. The Craftsman Truck Series race is 250 miles (94 laps) and the ARCA race,was shortened to 300 miles in 1998, and to 250 miles in 2006 when it was moved to Friday. Have a great weekend eddie
In 1996, International Speedway Corporation began exploring the idea of building a track in the Midwest. Bonds were sold in 1998 and construction on the 1.5-mile tri-oval began a year later. Tickets for the 2001 season went on sale on Aug. 17, 2000, and within a week, nearly 80 percent of the season tickets had been sold. Paving on the track begin in September of that year and construction was completed in the spring of 2001. Jeff Gordon won the first two Cup events there, starting with the inaugural race on Sept.30, 2001. ______________________________________________________ Soldiers from the U.S. Army Special Operations Command will thrill race fans with a daring pre-race demonstration prior to the start of the Camping World RV 400 presented by Coleman at Kansas Speedway on September 28, 2008. NASCAR fans will get a first hand and up-close look at a Special Operations infiltration demonstration, including a high-altitude, low-opening (HALO) parachute jump by the U.S. Army Special Operations Command’s Black Daggers. Also, the official Ford Fusion pace car is going on a special “ride” as part of the pre-race demonstration. It will be airlifted and then offloaded onto the track by an MH-47 Chinook helicopter from the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne). Following the pace car “delivery”, eight Special Forces Soldiers will fly into action on two MH-6 Little Bird helicopters for a simulated tactical infiltration.
Here are some fun Race Track Facts
#1 Throughout a NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series weekend at Kansas Speedway, Americrown, who handles all concessions, catering and merchandise for the track, sells more than 31,600 gallons of soda. How far could a NASCAR stock car go on 31,600 gallons of fuel? It could circle the earth 16 times before it had to make a pit stop. That's 129,272 laps around the 1.5-mile Kansas Speedway. ________________________________________________________ #2 Race fans eat 14,504 hot dogs on a typical race weekend at the track. That's enough wieners to cover 437 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup stock cars from nose to tail. ________________________________________________________ #3 About 25,000 hamburgers, which equals about 6,615 pounds, are eaten over the course of the weekend. That much meat adds up to 49 Mark Martins, the lightest driver on the NEXTEL Cup circuit at 135 pounds. _________________________________________________________ #4 Around 26,203 gallons of beer is sold. That's enough to fill a NASCAR NEXTEL Cup stock car gas tank 1,191 times. _________________________________________________________ #5 Nearly 250 yards of bratwurst are sold. _________________________________________________________ #6 About 23,200 orders of French fries are sold.

Hello my friend The racetrack is home to the second race in the Chase for the Sprint Cup and will celebrate its 40th anniversary during the 2008 season. Dover is unique in many ways. It is exactly one mile long; technically this means that it is neither a superspeedway nor a short track. The speedway surface is concrete; most NASCAR track surfaces are asphalt. The concrete surface is notoriously hard on cars, bringing about its nickname of The Monster Mile. The speedway's mascot is called "Miles the Monster" which is a concrete monster spawned from the track's nickname, "The Monster Mile." The monster is featured on the winner's trophy, the track's tickets, memorabilia, website, and more. A previous nickname that the track had was the "White Lightning." New for 2008, Miles the Monster will become the largest attraction at a NASCAR track and will be one of the tallest fiberglass structures in the world. The Monster Monument stands 46 feet-tall amongst race fans in the newly created Victory Plaza at Dover International Speedway.
