Talladega Superspeedway is thrilled to announce its work with Tito’s Handmade Vodka to unveil the “Tito’s Lemonade Lounge,” an interactive viewing area located in the brand-new Talladega Garage Experience set to debut this weekend during the track’s NASCAR Playoffs doubleheader. The doubleheader will feature the 1000Bulbs.com 500 and the Sugarlands Shine 250.

In celebration of Talladega Superspeedway’s 50th anniversary this weekend, the track is thrilled to bring back the first Miss Talladega 500 as well as many of the historic race cars that are a part of the Talladega lure.

Talladega Superspeedway's loyal fans are ready to make this weekend one for the ages!

After winning twice the decade before, Dale Earnhardt showed his sheer domination at Talladega Superspeedway in the 1990s, bookending the 10 years by being on top. And, it just wasn’t in NASCAR’s premier series.

Talladega Superspeedway announced today that McDonald’s will serve as the presenting sponsor of the traditional Saturday Night Infield Concert (Oct. 12) featuring Alabama’s own Riley Green and Tyler Braden, part of the track’s upcoming NASCAR Playoffs weekend. McDonald’s will also sponsor the Big One LIVE Music on Friday evening with country artist and singer-songwriter, Tim Dugger.
