Talladega Superspeedway on Wikipedia 

Talladega Superspeedway is a motorsports complex located in Eastaboga, Talladega County, Alabama, United States. It was constructed in the 1960s in place of the abandoned Anniston Army Airfield by International Speedway Corporation, a business controlled by NASCAR's founding France family along with Daytona International Speedway and several other racetracks. At long, Talladega is the largest (and most steeply banked) oval track in the Sprint Cup Series and has seating for over 175,000 spectators.

The start/finish line is placed after the pit exit because Bill France wanted to have higher ticket sales towards that side, as well as centered with pit road. The unusual placement has affected the outcome of several races (the start/finish line is normally placed across from the center of pit road). The track is adjacent to and visible from Interstate 20.

The International Motorsports Hall of Fame is adjacent to the Talladega Superspeedway.
