Aaron’s 499 History

NASCAR drivers have a tough time at Talladega. NASCAR lovers on the other hand, have a great time at Talladega. The Aaron’s 499 is one big reason Talladega has such a great reputation among NASCAR fans. Held early in the season, the Aaron’s 499 is one of the first major tests in the grueling marathon that stretches out all the way to The Chase for the Sprint Cup. Coming two months after the Daytona 500 and offering auto racing aficionados their first look at Talladega, the Aaron’s 499 is a high point in a year filled with peaks. By the way, this is a restrictor plate race, which means the drivers skills are a major part of the race.

The Talladega Superspeedway challenges those skills. One of the longer tracks on the circuit, and sporting steeply inclined turns, Talladega has recently undergone a major renovation that brought the quality of the track into line and improved visibility as well as enhanced the NASCAR experience for visitors. Come down south to Talladega Speedway and enjoy the southern hospitality, the most fanatical NASCAR fans anywhere, and the excitement that is the Aaron’s 499 with everything you need arranged by Sportstravel.com.
