ABOUT ME

Introduction I grew up in Alabama and graduated from the Univ. of Alabama. That is where I get my love of football. Dad would take me and I loved it!! ROLL TIDE.
Dad also worked for Bobby Allison, that is where I would get my first chance at going to the race track. Home track was BIR (Birmingham Internation Raceway) and short track was Heart of Dixe Speedway, better know to locals at "Sayre" You went there every Saturday Night if there wasn't a race at BIR. Thanks to Mr. Allison I worked the Hospitality Tent for years at Talladega. These were the days when you cooked you own Hamburgers, had Golden Flake Potatoe Chips, Budweiser, and Coke. You were lucky to get these donated.. Don't forget about buns, charcaol, etc. WOW how things have changed!! I may be showing my age a bit, but I am 40 and proud of it.
I know live in Ft. Walton Beach, FL and have for 3 years.. Love It here, Beach, boats, and motorcycles. Oh, I own a Motorcycle Repair and Small Engine Shop

My hobbies Swimming, Boating (anything to do with the water and sun)
Motorcycles
Of course, watching and going to Nascar

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

Hello my friend


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.

Have a great weekend!!!

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.

Have a great weekend

Hello my friend !!!

Since 2004, the race has served as the opening round of the
"Chase for the Sprint Cup", a ten-race "playoff" designed
among the top ten (twelve as of 2007) drivers in the standings
of the series following the Chevy Rock and Roll 400.

The 2001 fall race, originally scheduled for September 16, 2001,
was postponed due to the 9/11 terror attacks. Not wanting to cancel
the event outright, NASCAR decided to reschedule the race to the next
available date, November 23, 2001, the day after Thanksgiving.The race
had Robby Gordon, driving the #31 Lowe's Chevrolet for Richard Childress
Racing, win his first ever race in NASCAR.

Have a great weekend.
