It's called Talladega Superspeedway for a reason. One of NASCAR's
fastest tracks with speeds of more than 200 miles per hour, Talladega
draws up to 100,000 race fans to its track outside Anniston, Alabama.
The track first opened in 1969 on the site of a former Air Force base.
It once had a capacity of 175,000 but has been pared down dramatically in recent years. Talladega hosts two Sprint Cup races each year. The
Spring race was won by Denny Hamlin.
