Bet 2012 Aaron's 499 Odds - Talladega Superspeedway Driver Lines

NASCAR Nextel Cup looks for some southern hospitality when the Aaron's 499 takes on the Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama.

Talladega is one of the fastest tracks in NASCAR with four lanes and a backstretch that is nearly 4,000 feet long. With this layout, stock cars have reached speeds exceeding 220 mph! Talladega Superspeedway also plays host to the Amp Energy 500 later in October.

The big, 2.7-mile Talladega Superspeedway track is known for races with lots of passing and cars traveling four or five cars wide.

The power and strength of this 2.66 mile beast of a track is unparalleled with any other in the world. The 33 degrees of banking around the track and and 18 degrees in the front tri-oval make handling a secondary consideration. Talladega is big, fast, and all about horsepower and drafting. The distance allows for the drivers to just mash the pedal and drive.
