Talladega Superspeedway (formerly Alabama International Motor Speedway) is a motorsports complex located north of Talladega, Alabama, United States.[1] It is located on the former Anniston Air Force Base in the small city of Lincoln. The track is a Tri-oval and was constructed by International Speedway Corporation, a business controlled by the France Family, in the 1960s. Talladega is most known for its steep banking and the unique location of the start/finish line - which is closer to turn one than at Daytona. The track currently hosts the NASCAR series such as the Sprint Cup Series, Nationwide Series, and the Camping World Truck Series. Talladega Superspeedway is the longest NASCAR oval with a length of 2.66 miles (4.28 km), and the track at its peak had a seating capacity of 175,000 spectators,[2] although with the recent demolition of the Allison Grandstand down the backstretch, the capacity has been reduced to 80,000[3]
