Drivers tackle four types of tracks in the NASCAR Cup Series: superspeedways, intermediate tracks, short tracks, and road courses. Superspeedways, especially Talladega, are known for their high-pressure racing that tests even the most experienced drivers.

Talladega is 2.66 miles of asphalt foolishness. The banked turns were designed at 33-degree angles, meaning, when you're turning, your passenger's window must feel like it's at the top of Mt. Everest while your driver's seat must feel like it's in the depths of hell. Talladega is crazy.

The Xfinity and ARCA Menards Series will run on April 26, while the Cup Series runs on April 27. Often, the spring Talladega race ends in a fury of wrecked race cars and frayed emotions as drivers push for a win and a playoff spot.
