Talladega Transportation

Basically interstate wise you will come from I-20 from either Birmingham or Atlanta and traffic isn't terrible but inside 30 miles traffic will be stop and go at times, especially after the race. If you come from Birmingham skip exit 168 which is first exit and go to exit 173. If coming from Atlanta, skip exit 173 which is first exit in that direction and go to exit 168. This is because most if not all from Atlanta exit at 173 and Birmingham most if not all exit 168, coming from the opposite way you'll get right off with no backup. The best way in and out is to avoid the interstate completely if you can(interstate isn't bad but hardly anyone uses side roads). If you come from Atlanta or Birmingham, take state road 78 to state road 77 or 005 which is what I do. From Gadsden take state road 77 south to the track, and from Montgomery and south alabma take state road 77 through the town of Talladega to the track. Another major factor to consider again is that Talladega is BIG, depending on where your seats are might determine which route you go, state route 77 or 005.
Traffic on race day is typical gridlock, so if you stay outside 30 miles away from the track you need to leave no later than 7 a.m., otherwise you'll get stuck in bad traffic. THios is where camping comes in handy which is what a lot of people do. You need to know where your grandstand is and what route you wanna take BEFORE arriving at the track cause it's hard to merge and certain lanes will take you to certain parking lots which could be close or far from your seats which equals a LONG walk.
