The third largest racetrack in Alabama offers hourly van tours of the track.
My husband is an avid Nascar fan. We have visited a number of the Nascar race tracks an decided to stop and see Talladega Superspeedway on our way to Florida. We visited the racetrack and Hall of Fame which is on the grounds of the speedway. Admission was $16 for adults for the museum and a van tour of the track. There is no senior discount on the packages. The museum was quite large with lots of cars and history. We finished the self-guided tour thru the museum and had to wait a while for the van tour of the track. It wasn't busy and I have to assume that they wanted to try to fill the van up before doing a tour (they advertise that there are tours every 1/2 hour). The tour was interesting, however the ride around the track was just at the bottom of the track. Other speedways will take you part way up on the inclines. This track did have a VERY steep incline and it was interesting to try and imagine how a car sticks up there ! We were glad to have done both the museum and the track tour.

We were at Barber Motorsports Park for CHIN track days. Absolutely incredible facility. It’s like being in a park. The bathrooms were super clean and there was tons of room for larger rigs The track is incredible and the staff very friendly. We’ll be back for sure
