Talladega Superspeedway
Talladega, AL
|
After having races on almost every type of track thus far into the season, the Nextel
cup teams now prepare for the scariest track of all, Talladega Superspeedway. What
is tough for the drivers, makes it all that more exciting for the fans. The combination
of speed, the probability of danger, and lots of passing make this race a fan favorite.
That appeal of seeing great racing mixed with the spectacular end over end wrecks
has been drawing fans to the little Alabama town for 38 years. In the last few decades,
the fans have also been able to rely on the possibility that their favorite driver
would win a race there. The late Dale Earnhardt Sr wasn’t always a fan favorite,
but they grew to love his style and it soon turned into legendary status when he
became the chief villain against the young upstart, Jeff Gordon. The anti-Gordon fans
loved it and ate the rivalry up. Earnhardt went on to win 10 Cup races at Talladega,
still a track record.
NASCAR’s largest track and second restrictor plate race of 2008 is always exciting.
There are new restrictions at both Talladega and Daytona, NASCAR drivers started to go to
fast at Talladega, so they had to do something to slow them down. That’s why we have
restrictor plates now at both Talladega and Daytona. The plate is made of aluminum and has
four holes drilled into it. They are placed in between the carburetor and intake manifold
to reduce the rate at which fuel and air go into the engines combustion chamber, which
reduces horsepower and slows the car down. The cars still go fast but it takes them a few
laps to get up over 190 mph. If the plate wasn’t on one of today’s cars, speeds would
reach well over 225 mph.

accident brought out the yellow flag on the final lap, freezing the field and allowing Busch to slowly make his way across the finish line. |
