Talladega, Alabama is a picture-perfect Southern town known for its antique shops and its silk-stocking district lined with antebellum and Victorian homes. But the hundreds of thousands of people who pass through this sleepy little burg every year don't come for the history. They come for the stock-car racing at Talladega Super Speedway.
Car racing is the fastest growing spectator sport in the country. Jim Dunn, a NASCAR fan says, "I just think Talladega is the biggest. I was at Daytona last year and Talladega is just that much more impressive."
Talladega was built in 1969 and is considered the fastest and most competitive motor-sports facility in the world. It is one of two-dozen tracks on the NASCAR circuit, the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing.
Experience America reporter Pat McConahay made the trek to Talladega because it's an RV haven. An entire mini-community crops up overnight, offering all the comforts of home. During the race, the best seats in the house are on top of RVs. Ten to 15,000 RV rooftops are spread throughout the infield.
NASCAR Fan Melanie Hudgins exclaims, "RVs on the infield are like a huge family. It's fantastic!" Ronnie Edgens and his family follow the circuit and love having their home base at the track. His wife Liz says, "What I enjoy about the RV is that you don't have to leave and fight the traffic coming in and out."
Fans aren't the only ones who bring their homes on wheels to the race. So do the drivers, who stay in their own private compound. The compounds are set up like mini-cities, complete with daycare facilities, exercise rooms and church services. Their schedule is so hectic, the compounds allow the drivers to bring their families on the road with them. "Otherwise, drivers wouldn't see them," says Digger Shook, who drives and maintains NASCAR driver Dale Jarrett's luxury RV.
The Diehard 500 is one of 34 races in NASCAR's Winston Cup Series. NASCAR sponsors 2,200 races at more than three dozen tracks in 40 states. A NASCAR race is an unforgettable experience. Millions of Americans can't be wrong - certainly not these "Diehard" RVers.
