How to Camp at Talladega Speedway

The Talladega Superspeedway is the largest race track on the NASCAR Sprint Cup tour, as it is 2.66-miles in length. Before NASCAR mandated the use of restricted engines in 1988 due to the dangers of the high speeds, cars were circling the track at well over 200 miles per hour. Even with restricted engines, it is a fantastic show for NASCAR enthusiasts, as they travel from various regions of the United States to watch this race. Many fans enjoy camping at Talladega Superspeedway.
