Talladega at Nashville Speedway

Stock Cars!

Thanks to photographer Al Rogers, Country Music singer Brent Underwood, and Peanut Patch, we will be enjoying a great NASCAR weekend at the Nashville Speedway. As of right now, the weather forecast for the weekend could look a whole lot drier, but we will have fun regardless. We were invited to take out Talladega for display on the infield. It will be the only non-racecar in the show areas. There are approximately a dozen vintage race cars on display around the Fan Zone and infield. We are located inside Turn One, right next to a big TV screen. If you are in the area, stop by and say hello! We will be there all three days.

Here are a few photos from Thursday, load-in day. Trucks will be racing Friday night, O Riely cars Saturday night, and the NASCAR Cup cars on Sunday night. I will be tired on Monday!

Note the Talladega in the background!

It fit so well, I wanted to steal it and head for the track!

Even on set up day, the Talladega got a lot of interest and admirers. Race fans remember these cars1

We didn’t have to wait in line. Escorted entry sped things up a lot.

Some of my first and strongest memories from my childhood relate to cars. I still remember when things happened based on what car I was driving at the time. I grew up and lived in Iowa for nearly 40 years before moving to Southern California and now live in Tennessee. I was a Corvette fanatic for years but then re-discovered vintage American Muscle. My wife, Katrina, and I decided we wanted to focus on unique and rare muscle cars. After a lot of research we fell in love with the Ford Blue Oval Aero Cars. These were only built in 1969 and and aerodynamics became an important part of winning races. The only purpose of these limited production cars was to win NASCAR races using the Boss 429 and 427 power plants complimented with a special, wind cheating, aerodynamic body. The Ford Talladega and Mercury Cyclone Spoiler II are terrific and historic cars. This site is devoted to these car and their owners past and present. We provide an Online Registry for recording the long term history and ownership of every remaining Talladega, Spoiler and Spoiler II.
