January 29, 2010

Its been another big week for us at Talladega Superspeedway.

The seats for our grandstand project have arrived and installation started Monday. We began talking about this project several years ago and to see it starting to really take shape is exciting.

Just to give you an idea of how big of job this is, the communications team came up with some interesting facts.

For instance, 4.5 miles of caulk will be used on the job. That's enough to create a 1/2-inch strip around the track 1.5 times. When the job is complete, the concrete used will equal enough to pour the foundations for 300 single family homes and 45 miles of reinforcement steel will used in the concrete once completed.

But the fact I'm most proud of is this $13 million job has put 100 local people to work in our area and will put approximately $3.5 million directly into our community.

I hope you will follow our progress on our website, but more importantly I hope you join us in April to see it for yourself.
