@@DaleDenton-ov5pg~ I’d have to disagree with you on that one because the Daytona Pepsi 400 is awesome under the lights which is pretty much the same track as Talladega but a bit smaller & 2 degrees less banking than Talladega.
Being from Talladega Co. you are spot on about the power grid. When I was a growing up in the 80's ,if it was to snow which doesn't happen much in Alabama we would be with out power for al least a week and I'm talking about a light snow. Maybe one to two inches of snow
Yeah but in reality Alabama Power and the Southern Power Co has all the necessary equipment to make it happen. Its just a matter of if Nascar deems it a reasonable necessity to make more money. Personally i think they would make more money if they did a Dega night race. Also id like to add the only reason i know they have the equipment is because im from Tuscaloosa so I've seen half the stuff they let TPD use.
Typical person from Alabama not having a clue what your talking about. Snow knocks out power because all power lines in bum fuck Alabama are above ground hanging off poles it has nothing to do with power infrastructure needed to power lights at a stadium. Thanks from reminding us though
…that’s what property taxes are for. The speedway is rather clearly under taxed by its host county. Power in the US is structured as licensed natural monopolies. One company has exclusive provision for an area, but they can therefore only make profit from infrastructure upgrades (and that’s fixed at 10%). So what ever your power bill is, you’re paying (within 1-2%) the exact production cost of the power you use + how ever much covers any unreturned infrastructure improvement investments. One major flaw in this system is that maintenance doesn’t count for any profit, so power utilities are heavily incentivized to skimp on maintenance as much as legally possible. This tends to drive user costs up, while making the companies little or not profit (except tangentially in corrupt cases where irresponsibly deferred maintenance is used to justify unnecessary infrastructure upgrades). If the local area can’t afford further investments, then it hasn’t been growing enough, which is a super common outcome when services are too underfunded. A massive speedway and it’s equally massive parking footprint eating up space is a great local asset-if that asset pays its share of local tax.
Not to mention the rocky terrain you would have to dig into to install said lights. It would primo expensive just for installation let alone maintenance and usage.
If I were a billionaire I would personally pay for the upgrades to the power grid for Talladega to get lights, that would be such a cool feature and it would open the door to some endurance road racing like Daytona has
Talladega used to have an infield road course, which can still be seen if you look at a detailed map of the track. But just like Phoenix in 2011, the paving of the infield runoff areas in either 1995 or 1996 sealed off the infield section, making it very difficult to revive that layout. Besides, the 24 Hours of Daytona was run long before the lights were installed, so they wouldn’t be required to run such a race at Talladega.
But no billionaire wants to pay out of pocket for anything in this country hardly. I would because I am a huge NASCAR fan and regardless of politics would want to help these rural areas upgrade.
@@esalyers_822 yeah but the state of Alabama has enough saying they spend multi millions on new group of 5 college football stadiums, but they won't shell out to light a nascar track that attracts 500,000 per twice per year.
They tell you during the track tour that it’s not the issue of lighting up the track but the issue of the parking not being lit. They are worried about lawsuits from people getting hurt in the lots. They have lights at the track just not what you would need to race with. It mainly lights up the stands. The county made a deal to build the four lane road in front of the track just so they would build the track there. If you have ever been there on a Saturday night there is tons of campers walking around drunk and have been hit on that road. It would be much worse if tons of cars were leaving at night.
Probably not going to happen in a state like Alabama without a bunch of resistance. Nuclear makes more sense with recent talks of going back to nuclear power.
I think something to add too, Talladega Superspeedway only host NASCAR and no other motorsports. Just Cup, Xfinity, and ARCA and in the Spring, and Cup and Truck running in the Fall with Xfinity running in the Fall in recent years. Even if Talladega had lights it wouldn’t be enough money to pay the electric bill, compared to its sister track Daytona where 98% of racing at Daytona is done on the combined oval and road course. Same can be said with other tracks on the schedule like Michigan, New Hampshire, etc. Michigan only hosts NASCAR, and New Hampshire host only NASCAR and maybe some other motorsports on the combined oval and road course, but not enough to really make bank off of em.
That’s honestly funny asf. “Yeah our track is so massive that it would cause a blackout for the whole town of Talladega so we can’t race nights.” BDE at its finest😭😭
Just something to ponder folks. Many rural areas in the country are in a similar spot power grid wise. And they are trying to shove the whole electric car thing down everybody’s throat. Put that into perspective.
Nascar is a multi-billion dollar private company.. the cost of getting lights and a sub station to run them is the equivalent of me and you buying a gas generator to power a lamp lol
Yeah, i toured this during my sprink break (after easter) and the guide said that if they have lights and turn them on, everyone else would have a power outage in the county
Yo, Persona 5 music? Wow. For those who don't know, it's the instrumental version of "Wake Up, Get Up, Get Out There". Anyway, I guess it makes sense it takes a lot of power for a track that big.
How is it one of the largest and most popular tracks in NASCAR history is in a location that has a sub-par power grid? AND still does?? 82k people live in Talladega County. The first race at Talladega was September 13, 1969. They could have utilized the Coosa river if they wanted. It's less than 10 miles from the track... anyways what a shame.
It's on the same grid as Calhoun Co. Oxford-Anniston. A huge Army base, Lincoln Honda where all Honda SUVs are made. There are several hydropower plants along the Coosa River. The dam on lake Logan Martin is a hydropower plant. Another hydro power plant is the Wedowee lake dam on the Tallapoosa River. So their is more than enough power available on the local grid. As for the infrastructure all that would be needed would be a simple substation. Now with LEDs if NASCAR wanted to they would. Imo one of the main reasons is the fall race on saturday night would clash with college football which is bigger than the nfl here in the south. If ticket sales slow then they might would do it.
Idk about that I can’t speak for other tracks but Richmond’s lights are controlled by generators exclusively. I’ve seen it myself, every pole has its own caterpillar diesel generator powering it. The big tandem axle ones. I wondered why but the reason in this video makes sense. Also the camera on the wall around the track are each powered by a Honda generator. Now to be fair Richmond is significantly smaller and Talladega so it may be cost prohibiting to have generators powering that many poles and I don’t know how Daytona is set up, the closest thing to talladega, I was always curious as to why Richmond used generators vs being hooked to the grid
If i was track owner, I would have two options. Option 1 is install the lights at Talladega but black out Alabama ticket holders that are going so it can be a sell out. Option 2 is install the lights in Talladega county and hope the power does not go boom.
Theoretically, if they had their own power plant like most other big places like Disney World, etc. they should be able to do it they just don’t want people crashing, but if they had it could still be better
Exactly why Daytona has the best track in NASCAR, just went to the 2024 Coke zero sugar 400 at night and everything is so bright it’s better than daylight. Night races are so much more fun. No sweating your ass off.
I’m sure there enough space for Talledega to go off the grid with solar panels. It wouldn’t just help the facility, but the county as well when the track isn’t in use.
Ngl, Talladega should have plenty of space for solar in the parking lot too not only light the track but also the grid. Talk about a win,win upgrade for the facility and county as the track also becomes a big green solar farm while shading the lot for tail gating.
There are generally 3 separate grids that come from the power plants or different transformers. There's Industrial power, Commercial power and municipal power. Talladega would be on Commercial power at the least with the airport and other things on that property that run. They do have their own substation. So, depending on the voltage coming in to their transformer it might just be a question of larger capacity transformer, larger physical size high tension lines, or come off of a different source altogether which may be industrial if they could get zoning for it. All of which wouldn't cost them much as most of that would be the power companies problem. They would have to upgrade their onsite service, but not the incoming. But, it wouldn't shut your lights off at your house. Maybe the warehouse down the street. I get the point, but there's always a way. How did Pocono do it? There's plenty of room at Talladega for that. I'm not a fan necessarily but in that large of a scale, if solar works and would bring lights to race at night, go for it.
No there's not. It's one grid and different suppliers feed in at different points and different customers tap off at different voltage levels. And consumption is based on capacity (user demand and wire size and supply)
I mean... a couple industrial generators would do just fine. One extra large Industrial generator can power up to 240,000 watts and race track lights use about 2,000 watts per fixture so one generator can easily power 100 light fixtures.
If they wanted to Talladega could use generators. The military has some that would light up a small city. The issue would be after you left the property.
Solar & wind powered lights? We only race there twice and year and if only one is a night race, are you saying the other 360 something days, you couldn’t gather and save enough sunlight and wind powered energy to use for a couple hours to light the track? 🤔
Ahhh but there will be. Talladega county and the state are working towards a way to increase the power available to lincoln (the actual city talladega is in). So while its still far out there are talks and plans to give talladega the amount of power it needs for lights
I live in Talladega County and I can confirm, our power source here is so putrid that lighting Talladega at night would indeed cause a county wide black out 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Not true. Grew up 30 minutes from there. Been a rumor for years. The issue is more likely that there is little to do in Talladega (technically Lincoln) during the day prior to a night race and few hotels close to the track for post race.
I do not know anyone around here that still goes to the races anymore. Even with the tower seats it's hard to see the whole track. Everyone is watching the huge tvs in front of the grandstands. Atlanta is a better deal. You can see all the way around.
Not another reason but a thing to bring up is the party scene at night for Talladega is insane. Would lose something if people had a race to pay attention to at either of their dates!
