β'Degaβ, formerly named Alabama International Motor Speedway is located on the former Anniston Air Force Base in the small city of Lincoln near Talladega, AL. It is a tri-oval, the track was constructed in 1969. Talladega is the longest NASCAR oval, with a length of 2.66 miles, compared to the Daytona International Speedway, which is 2.5 miles.
In the first race at the track, all the original drivers aside from Bobby Isaac, Richard Brickhouse, Jim Vandiver abandoned the track due to tire problems, which forced France to hire substitute drivers. The race was won by Brickhouse.
Speeds in excess of 200 mph are commonplace at Talladega. Talladega has the record for the fastest recorded time by a NASCAR vehicle on a closed oval course, with the record of 216.309 mph set by Rusty Wallace on June 9, 2004.
Who are your picks for the fastest time at Dega this week?

3 8 10 12 22 I can't believe these picks. Early in the season the only one of these I would have chosen was #22. But the rules are to stick with the calculations.
