Race Car Driver -Talladega

Corinth, MS Railroad Junction - same as 1862

Talladega Speedway is the longest track in NASCAR with a 2.66 mile track and 33 degree banked turns - requires speed of 85mph to stay on the track. We toured the track and lucky for us there were sprint/nationwide cars testing. We drove back into Mississippi to Corinth. A civil war battle here was fought to seize and protect a critical railroad juncture. It was interesting to stand at that same crosswords today that existed in 1862.
