The Talladega Superspeedway is not only home to some pretty important NASCAR races, it is also the home of the International Motorsports Hall of Fame, which has over 150 cars and counting! The Texaco Walk of Fame is located nearby in the town of Talladega, and is a growing tribute to the influential members of stock car racing.


Talladega Superspeedway hosts many NASCAR events which include two Sprint Cup Series races, one Nationwide Series race, and one Camping World Truck Series race.


Numerous strange occurrences at the track have led to rumors of Talladega Superspeedway being cursed. Stories of the origin of the curse vary. Some claim that a local Native American tribe held horse races in the valley where the track currently resides where a chief was killed when he was thrown from his horse. Others say that the site of the superspeedway was once an Indian burial ground. Still another version says that after the local tribe was driven out by the Creek nation for their collaborating with the forces of Andrew Jackson, a shaman put a curse on the valley.
