Generators
tips to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning when using generators:
Never use a generator inside
recreational vehicles, tents, trailers,
or similar areas, even when using
fans or opening doors and windows
for ventilation. Deadly levels of carbon
monoxide can quickly build up in these
areas and can linger for hours, even
after the generator has shut off.
Follow the instructions that come with your generator. Locate the unit outdoors
and far from recreational vehicles, tents, trailers, doors, windows, and vents
that could allow carbon monoxide to come indoors.
Get fresh air right away if you start to feel dizzy or weak.
fire hazards:
Never store fuel for your generator in recreational vehicles, tents or trailers.
Gasoline, propane, kerosene and other flammable liquids should be stores
outside of these areas in properly labeled, non-glass safety containers. Do not
store them near a fuel-burning appliance, such as a natural gas water heater.
Before refueling the generator, turn it off and let it cool down. Gasoline spilled
on hot engine parts could ignite.
Emergency Contact
In case of an emergency, guests of Talladega Superspeedway may call
256- 761-4877. The information will be forwarded to the control tower where an
announcement will be made. If the seat location of the guest is known, we will
contact an usher to deliver the message to the guest.

TRAFFIC TIPS & MAPS
traffic tips And Day Parking recommendations
Talladega Superspeedway would like to thank you for being a part of what we feel
are the best NASCAR event weekends in the country. In order to make your trip to
Talladega Superspeedway more enjoyable, we have put together some traffic tips
and parking recommendations based on past observations.
Leave as early as possible and allow extra time to get here. This is the most
important component in getting everyone parked and seated in time to see the
Pre-Race Ceremonies.
Please note: Traffic flow on Friday, Saturday and Sunday is subject to change.
Make sure and study the route you want to take before coming to Talladega
Superspeedway. Then, if traffic is backing up, consider taking alternate routes
into the facility.
Try to carpool. If you have considered chartering a bus, keep in mind that we
have special reserved parking for these vehicles.
All Day Parking on Talladega Superspeedway property is free.
Pay special attention to 1E, 2E, 2N, 3N, 9W, 10W and 11W parking, as they
have great access in and out. It is a little farther walk to your seat than other
lots, but you can exit after the race fairly easily.
There is no overnight parking in areas designated as Day Parking. See facility
map on pages 46-47 for more information. All Allison Grandstand ticket
holders should park in the 6E or 7E lot.
Plan your trip in advance, and check the following web sites for traffic and
road construction updates before you leave home:
• ALABAMA: www.dot.state.al.us
When entering and leaving the race track, tune your radio to WTDR 92.7 FM for
the latest traffic updates.
