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.

The past couple of weeks have seen a number of videos and articles designed around convincing NASCAR to move the final race of the year back to Homestead. Would it mean that Frontstretch would have a larger presence there once things go back to normal? More than likely (we had a small battalion on site the last four years that Ford Championship Weekend was in Homestead), but that’s primarily because the vast majority of our writers (but not all) live in the Eastern Time Zone. It’s not particularly easy to get to Phoenix. It seems that the American-U.S. Airways merger hurt Phoenix. Airfa
