About
š Talladega Short Track, affectionately called āThe Hornetās Nestā, is located across the street and just east of the Talladega Super Speedway on Speedway Boulevard in Eastaboga, Alabama. š
The track opened on April 29th, 1977 under the direction of promoter Alfred Gurley.
The track garnered national attention, and is ranked as one of the Top 25 speedways in USA Today. The nickname āThe Hornetās Nestā was bestowed on the track and used frequently by late Track Announcer Perry Holman as the action on the track is tight and ultra competitive, thus turning a field of Stock Cars loose on the high-banked, red clay oval is likened to kicking a Hornetās Nest as they begin buzzing with action!
Action takes place on the Stock Car Track every Saturday night from mid-March through mid-October, and Friday night racing action on the 1/6 mile Raceway Park go-kart facility from April through September with go-kart and Junior Late Model Racing.
Special events include the world famous Ice Bowl which is an annual winter pilgrimage in January of each season, kicking off the race season for many fans and competitors, and draws 300+ cars from around the country. Other special events included are: the always exciting NASCAR weekends that run in conjunction with the events at Talladega Super Speedway; Alfred Gurley Twin 25 Super Late Model event; Annual Governorās Cup Event; July 4th weekend Salute to America Nationals; the Jerry Goodwin Tribute Event; and many others throughout the season.
Many sanctioning bodies visit TST each season including: Southern All Star Super Late Model Series, Crate Racinā USA Dirt Late Model Series, USCS Winged Outlaw Sprint Cars, NVRA Vintage Race Cars, and the Crate Racinā USA Street Stock Series.
We hope to see you soon to take in a night of āDirt Trackinā Southern Style.ā
