NASCAR founder Bill France conceived Talladega Superspeedway originally named Alabama International Motor Speedway as the world’s largest and fastest oval and succeeded on both fronts. Following the success of Daytona International Speedway, which opened in 1959, France looked to replicate the model further inland and purchased 2,000 acres near what was once the Anniston Air Force Base.
NASCAR broke ground in 1968 and built a venue that was larger than Daytona at 2.66-miles instead of 2.5 and had greater banking at 33 degrees instead of 31. Additionally, the start-finish line was painted at the entrance to Turn 1 to provide a unique experience.
