Talladega was conceived by NASCAR founder William "Bill" France, Sr., who wanted to build the largest and fastest oval race track in the US, faster and longer than Daytona.

Daytona is 2.5 Miles long (4.02 km), with banking of 31° at all the turns. The tri-oval has 18° banking, with the back straight 2°.

Talladega is 2.66 Miles (4.281 km), with banking of 33° at Turns 1 & 2, 32.4° at Turn 3 and 32.5° at Turn 4. The tri-oval is 16.5°, with the back straight at 3°.
