TRANSCRIPT

The founder of NASCAR, Mechanic William France, Sr., moved to Daytona Beach, Florida, in 1935 to escape the Great Depression.

Football is the only sport in the United States to hold more viewers than NASCAR

NASCAR sanctions over 1,500 races at over 100 tracks in 39

states

Talladega holds two Sprint Cup races per year; The first race in the spring and the second in October.

At 2.66 miles long, Talladega is the largest oval track in the Sprint Cup Series and has seating for over 175,000

spectators

The spring Sprint Cup Series race is referred to as the Aaron's 499 after the Atlanta-based lease-to-

own chain.

The names that the races are called vary due to the purchase of naming rights.

The "499" distance mimics the chain's rentals "For $99" per month. Despite the name, the race is over 500 miles

in length.

Aaron’s 499 Race will be held on April 25, 2010, 1:00 PM CST

And this year…
