Last night at Stucky's in Johnsburg, Illinois, I was conversing with a guy whose family are major BASCAR fans and go to Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama every year. He said that Talladega was the biggest racetrack in the world with seating for 400,000 people. I'd always heard that the Indianapolis Motor Speedway was the world's biggest with seating for 250,000 in the grand stands and 400,000 throughout the grounds.
I looked it up and it said total maximum capacity for Talladega is around 175,000 with main grandstand at around 80,000.
So, the Indy 500 is still the biggest.
Like myself, however, he and his family were greatly disappointed in the one NASCAR driver's anti-anything Confederate stance.
