I’ve been saying all along that 2010 is going to be a big season for us. With things like new rules, new seats and new pricing in some of our grandstands, it’s very exciting to think what the 2010 season at Talladega Superspeedway holds.
The season will actually get started a little earlier for us than expected. Tuesday, March 16th, race fans will get the chance to come out and experience the new rules and new seats, as NASCAR has scheduled a test for that day. The test will give teams the opportunity to test the new spoiler rules NASCAR mentioned before the season started, as well as the size restrictor plate that will be used for the Aaron’s Dream Weekend, April 23-25. The restrictor plate that was used for the Daytona 500 was the largest in nearly 20 years. There’s also some rumblings that the teams might be testing one a little larger on March 16th. Most of the teams, if not all, are expected to be at the test. The test is open and free to the public. Parking lots will open at 8:30 a.m. and testing should begin at 9 a.m.
This open test will also give us the chance to showcase our new grandstand seats that we’ve been telling you about. I believe race fans who choose to sit in these sections for the upcoming Talladega events will be very pleased with the wider seats, wider aisles and the cup holders.
I hope to see all of you on March 16th, but if not, please go ahead and make plans to join us for Aaron’s Dream Weekend in April.

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.
