"'Dega" is a motorsports complex located on the former Anniston Air Force Base. A 2.66 mille tri-oval, the track was constructed in 1969.
Numerous strange occurrences at the track have led to rumors of Talladega being cursed. Stories of the origin of the curse vary. Some claim that a local Native American tribe held horse races in the valley where the track currently resides, where a chief was killed when he was thrown from his horse. Others say that the site of the superspeedway was once an Indian burial ground. Still another version says that after the local tribe was driven out by the Creek nation for their collaboration with the forces of Andrew Jackson, a shaman put a curse on the valley
Pick five that will not be cursed this year.

Due to the last lap mess, I will wait until NASCAR posts the official results before I calculate the winners. Probably later Monday.

Congratulations Ilene. It seemed discussing scores during chat that all of us were trying to NOT win! 🤣

Up until near the end my score was still in the 40s. I purposely did not say anything about my drivers so I wouldn't jink them. It still didn't help.
