Traffic Tips And Day Parking Recommendations
Talladega Superspeedway would like to thank you for being a part of what we feel are the best NASCAR event weekends in the country. In order to make your trip to Talladega Superspeedway more enjoyable, we have put together some traffic tips and parking recommendations based on past observations.
• Leave as early as possible and allow extra time to get here. This is the most important component in getting everyone parked and seated in time to see the Pre-Race Ceremonies.
• Please note: Traffic flow on Friday, Saturday and Sunday is subject to change.
• Make sure and study the route you want to take before coming to Talladega Superspeedway. Then, if traffic is backing up, consider taking alternate routes into the facility.
• Try to carpool. If you have considered chartering a bus, keep in mind that we have special reserved parking for these vehicles.
• All Day Parking on Talladega Superspeedway property is free.
• Pay special attention to the 1E, 2E, 2N and 3N parking lots, as they have great access in and out. It is a little farther walk to your seat than other lots, but you can exit after the race fairly easily.
• There is no overnight parking in areas designated as Day Parking. See our 3D Facility Map for more information. All Allison Grandstand ticket holders should park in the 6E or 7E lot.
• Plan your trip in advance, and check the following web sites for traffic and road construction updates before you leave home: - ALABAMA: www.dot.state.al.us
• When entering and leaving the race track, tune your radio to WTDR 92.7 FM for the latest traffic updates.
• Fans are welcomed to tailgate after the day’s track events are concluded, but all Day Parking lots must be cleared before dark, or two hours after the day’s track events have concluded.
• And finally, please know our greatest challenge each year is not to make sure the race is exciting. We will leave that up to the best drivers in the world. Our goal is to create an experience for you, our fans, which will be something you can feel good about. Please see this traffic section as a step toward one of the most exciting race weekends of the year!
• North Day Parking lots will be open Sunday only!
PLEASE NOTE:
• Starting at approximately 8 a.m. on Saturday all traffic coming onto Speedway Boulevard from the west will be routed one way. Then on Sunday at approximately 7 a.m., all lanes of traffic coming onto Speedway Boulevard from the east and west will be routed one way to the track’s main entrance.
• Saturday events during race weekend, traffic will be routed out west bound, one way only. All traffic entering the track should do so from the east.
