Talladega First NASCAR Track to Eclipse 100,000 Facebook “Likes”

Talladega Superspeedway has reached a social media milestone, becoming the first NASCAR track to eclipse 100,000 “likes” on Facebook.

“Facebook is another way that we can interact with current and potential race fans,” said Talladega Superspeedway Chairman Grant Lynch.  “We put a lot into our social media efforts and it’s exciting to be leading the way for all the tracks in NASCAR.”

Fans from around the world have “liked” Talladega Superspeedway with nearly 7,000 coming from international destinations, including such far-off locales as Australia.

“Talladega provides such a unique and exciting form of racing that fans from around the world come here,” said Lynch.  “It’s not uncommon to have to have all 50 states and more than 20 different countries represented in our grandstands during a race weekend.  With Facebook, those fans that travelled thousands of miles to be with us can share their experience with other fans from around the world. “
