  • Throughout Talladega's history, there have been many heart-stopping crashes. In this compilation, I did my best to put together a list of some of the worst in history. I most likely left out a few big ones, so let me know which ones you would have wanted to see included. None of the crashes in this video were fatal. Thanks for watching and I will see you all next time!

They saw a sign that said, Talladaga left, so they turned around and went back home. Everyone laughed until we turned around and saw our drill sergeant who was from Birmingham…. I swear I did enough pushups to sent Alabama to South America.

    What a joke ass clowns nascar was great at one time before all the restrictions and nascars BS rules
    Turn em up and let the best team win get the audience back and if it’s a team that isn’t doing anything obvious ! And have figured out how too squeeze out another 10 mph than the rest ,then he’s the winner that day
