Talladega Superspeedway

Alabama State Troopers and Nascar are killing Talladega. my friend and I was going to see our friends and as soon as we got on speedway blvd we saw at least 8 to 10 State troopers with there lights on. We joked about how crazy they where then as soon as we turned off speedway blvd we got pulled over for nothing just so he could ask us where we was... See More going and see if we were drinking which we wasn't at the time. Then the race Sunday sucked cause Nascar scared the drivers from racing. A suggestion next fall play pro football on jumbo screens so we can be entertained while the drivers aren't racing between laps 30 and 150.

What I didnt like is that no one covered Joe Nemechek's Fans On Board sponsorship :( The fans worked hard to do that for Joe. Anyway the race was good at the end but Nascar was too strict. Like Newman said they need to trust the drivers more. Other then that Talladega is a great fun place to race.

single file racing??? glad i didn't spend the money for this race

That was not racing we have spring tickets, hope it changes..

yeah alittle boring, didn't enjoy that one, always loved talladega races but this one, c'mon now

The chicken car was cool.
Tired of seeing guys run up front and hard all day to get crashed out near the end then goobers sit in the back and cruise around all day, miss the wreck and get a top 10.

I agree, there were way too many State Troopers! But, I had a great time with friends.

First time i enjoyed it. our camping was great met alot of new friends will be back. race was great the people around is were friendly and helpful. loved it! alabama is beautiful!! Thanks 4 the hospitality!

i liked 2-3 wide racing, and lots of passing for the lead.... i think nascar should go back to the 2004 plate package where they had the wicker on the roof... (the race the the 24 & 8 car battled for win)

and honestly talladega shouldn't be in the chase because everyone was "points racing" like JJ and Tony stewart which made the racing worse... See More.... if nascar doesn't want bump drafting in the corners then the cars need a smaller plate and bumpers that don't line up...

the plates have to stay so they aren't going 220! but they should be smaller so they suck up and draft better

Well, I've been to Talladega where there wasn't a state trooper to be seen, and there were topless women and lewd and rowdy behavior everywhere. I'm glad there were cops everywhere to prevent that kind of bull from happening. The race was good, except for that chunk of laps where it was all single file, but it was overall pretty cool. It was my ... See Morewifes first race, and I see we'll be coming to Talladega now everytime a Cup driver is there. Great time, maybe make the cars a bit less apt to fly off the ground, but everything on the speedway's part was perfect!

also give the driver's more incentives to lead laps like 10 points so the good cars don't stay at the back all race like jimmie (chicken sh*t) and fall into a top 6 finish.

I was a bit ill though about the parking help. We had VIP parking, but the guys still made us park back in regular parking away from the track with everybody else.

Inside nascar on speedvision last night made me feel a little better..like i said a little better!!

My daughter and I enjoyed the race - Yes it got alittle boring - but listening to the drivers made it interesting. We are making plans to come back next fall.

If you kno many fans didn't enjoy the race what is being done to better it for next year?

This was my first race, but I had a great time! We rented the headphones, and I believe that made a huge difference! I really enjoyed being able to hear the other drivers. Especially during the wrecks! Other than the weather, and the crazies dropping their beer cans on peoples heads, it was a blast. I was ready to go open a can of whoop ass on ... See Moresomeone for the beer can on the head. Luckily, for the person that did it, my fiance told me to let it go! However, if it had of been my child, I would have still done it! I really believe that people should consider that its a privilege to be able to bring beer into the stadiums and for them to sell it. If they keep this kind of crap up, then they may get to where you have to buy your beer there and not allow it in the stands and also rape you with the costs! However, some folks just have no respect!

The AIDB party was wonderful - got autographs from some of the great drivers - pics of them too - Hospitality village and pit tours were great - Zac Brown concert was good (except for the mud I'm cleaning off my shoes today!). Race would have been better if they were actually allowed to race - and Junior would have won if they had gotten to finish the last two laps! That would have made it a great weekend instead of just a good one!

I thought it was fine. By far the best-run track I've been to, and we will be back. The racing was good, not the three-wide wreckfest that many fans want or expect, but there was more strategy than many are used to at Dega. Please don't overreact to the unfair criticism.

Saturday was a little cool and damp. Maybe the races shouldn't have been moved to later in the year. The weather is unpredictable this time of the year. During Sunday's race, the single file racing was BORING. The two, three, and four wide racing was exciting.

Maybe the race needs to be broken down into 3 heats. Make heats 1 and 2 70 laps ... See Moreeach with only half the field of vehicles. The top 12 from heats 1 and 2 go on to heat #3. Make this heat a 50 lap race. Listening to Kyle Busch on the scanner, he even said the race was too long and mentioned shortening it to 70 laps. I realize that was actually be too short a race for what we pay for tickets and for the enjoyment of race weekend. That is why I think it should be broken down to 3 heats. This will keep the total number of laps around the 188 it currently is.

I found Talladega boring this year! Didn't even watch it from start to finish..

We had a great time, loved the time of year and noone can predict the weather! We will be back as long as life conditions allows us!

I agree with Devin - what are you going to do to make it better???? Also, too many cops that didn't know their head from a hole in the ground. One stopped our lane of traffic for 30 minutes while letting two other lanes alternate - then when our lane was allowed to move he still let the other cars come so we had to fight for our spot and hope no ... See Moreone hit us - then he stopped that same lane again after only 5 cars were allowed to move!!!! Total BS!! We got sent to B.F.E. for NO reason. Telling us sections were full when we could clearly see available spaces - like they were holding them for their friends! First and Last race!

We watched the Costume contest and AJ Allmendinger was a hoot all dressed up as a pimp. Think a lot of folks had fun there. Liked the extra food vendors at the shopping area. The food was good, the music was good....the cold wet weather no good. But had a decent time anyway.

Well I enjoyed the weather on Sunday. We got a nice spot in the parking lot. And our hotel room (abbeit an hour away) was quite comfortable. And we tried a new restaurant in Hoover. And I did enjoy the bama bar-b-q and my husband enjoyed the chicken tenders. So those are our points of enjoyment. The race was boring during the single file ... See Moreracing and I honestly do not think that we will come back unless NASCAR lets the drivers run the way they want. We spend $1000's a year on NASCAR racing and are not going to continue if NASCAR is going to make it dull and boring. And you guys should make your pit passes more affordable. At Michigan we only had to pay $50 per person and that got us in to the pits from Friday through Sunday - the whole weekend! It is the best deal in racing. Michigan is making it more affordable. The race may be a bit dull, but the enjoyment of the whole racing experience and the low cost makes it a great deal!

didn't make it to the track, but was praying hard for Ryan Newman!! Great to here he was ok!!!

First time in the infield and had a really great time! The race was nowhere near the excitement level it has been in the past. Fans and drivers alike were disappointed with the boring race. Was very, very happy to see Jamie McMurray win though. If it hadn't been for the rain, the concert would have been great. We didn't feel like getting covered in mud, so we hung out on Talladega BLVD. and at the campsite.

The Smoke in the infield Sat night was excruciating! If the track doesn’t fix that problem We won’t be back!

THE WEATHER DIDNT HOLD BACK US COONASS FROM LOUISIANA, WE ROLLED IN THE MUD AND KEEP ON TRUCKING LIKE BIG DOGS!! CANT WAIT TO GO SPRING 2010!!

Blackberry Smoke was awesome

I don't see how any true racing fan could not have a good time at Talladega. Sometimes the race is just uneventful and that is that! The rain was wet, but did not stop my fun...was @ the Miller Lite Paddock Club Saturday for the truck race...was a little disappointed that CUP qualifying was rained out since we were behind the pits that day but ... See Morestill enjoyed the view and garage tour. There were plenty of police present, but let's face it...you really have to work hard at screwing up enough to get in trouble with the law at Talladega!! And I am still washing the campfire smoke smell out of my hair....HELL, YEAH!!! So I say if you can't run with the big dogs...SIT ON THE PORCH!!!

If you don't like it stay home! Great race! Great time!

There is absolutely nothing y'all could do to make it better for me!! Talladega is my respite from my everyday life at home!!! I love waking up in the infield to the sound of the blowers going around the track, to the shopping outside the track, to going to bed under the stars!!! You can't help what NASCAR decides and you can't help the weather... See More!! That's like people blaming me for what the gov't decides to do with Medicare. Hey, I just work at a place that processes Medicare claims....I don't make the rules. Thank you for the hot showers at the showerhouse this year!! One small suggestion....you might want to repave Talladega Blvd. The potholes and cracks are a little tricky when you've been imbibing in the goofy juice!! LOL!! Keep doing what you're doing and I'll be there twice a year like I have for the past 14-15 years!!! Love ya!!!

all the stuff yall are bitching about is the stuff we love, its all part of it... if you cant hang with us at DEGA stay at the house

I drove 8 hours to watch them single file race. I should have stayed home and saved my money. I got ticket for next year but if they dont change something or just let the drives do what they get pay to do I'm going to sell those tickets and go else where and watch them. The race was boreing until the last 75 laps. We dont wanna see them wreck. Just show some good 2-3-4 wide raceing thats what makes it raceing. Thats the word from the south in Louisiana.

need to go back to the original date or something close. it used to be perfect weather for the fall race. you guys have ruined it. nascar keeps on and there will be nobody there in the future. go back to its original.

The concerts were ok, maybe better known bands next year would help. More transportation to the concerts; we had to walk the entire backstretch to get to the concert saturday night. I know the track has nothing to do with nascar rules so I won't even go into that. The bands outside the grandstands were way too generic sounding and uninteresting. More and better entertainment would help a lot.

nascar racing has come to far in the last 33 years that i have been going to ruin it now, no need in spending all that money on new seats, if you are going to have single file driving!!!

i liked the race. lots of lead changes. every race cant be full of excitement.. its always exciting to me, i get on the front row

A1 job Talladega my family and I had a great time. We had 3 extra seat belts so we filled them with some dega first timers as you asked. They also had a great time. We made some new friends and got to visit some old friends. The kids had the best time trick or treating ever! As far as the racing went it was pretty damn good. Sure there were some ... See Moreflat spots but that gave me time to take the kids to the rest room and get them munchies. I would rather watch a few chunks of single file racing than the race be shortened 1 or 200 laps. Thank you Talladega for a great weekend

well...I didn't actually get to see the race. But I had a blast in the in-field and the camp grounds. Be there in April
