Talladega Superspeedway

Type: 
Length: 2.66 MilesShape: Tri-oval

Talladega Superspeedway is over-the-top excitement -- on and off the track. Plan ahead to stay on property in one of the track's

hundreds of acres of overnight parks, and a fun and carefree weekend will be your payoff.

Getting there

From the east via I-20: Exit 173 (Eastaboga) and proceed west on Speedway Blvd. Parking lots 4N-7N and 1E-4E will provide the easiest exiting. Parking lots 1W-4W will also provide good parking, but it's a little longer in exiting (good if your seats are near Turn 4).

From the west via I-20: Exit 168 (Lincoln/Talladega.) Take State Hwy. 77 south. Then go east on Speedway Blvd. Parking lots 8W-11W and 1N and 4N will provide the easiest exiting. Lots 5W and 6W would also provide good parking, but takes a little longer in exiting (good if you're seats are near Turn 1).

Some other roads that run north and south: Hwy. 431, Hwy. 77, county roads 97, 399, 423 and 97. Some other roads that run east and west: Hwy. 78/4, Hwy. 202, county roads 374 and 354.

What to bring

Each guest is allowed to bring into Talladega superspeedway:

• One 6"x6"x12" or smaller soft-sided cooler or insulated bag

• One clear plastic bag (18"x18"x4"or smaller). No ice allowed in clear plastic bags

• Items such as binoculars, radio scanners, cameras and seat cushions carried or on a belt

Parking and camping

Day parking is free on speedway property. Because Talladega is suge a large track, it is important to plan where you park. If you are coming from the east and your seats are in Turn 4, you do not want to go past the speedway and park in a lot outside of Turn 1. If you do, you will have to hike a long distance to your seat after sitting in traffic.
