TALLADEGA INTERNATIONAL MOTORSPORTS MUSEUM

I never heard it mentioned, but found myself in Talladega by chance!
Yes Talladega is one of super speedways, but there really is not much else to do near the track.
The museum located at the speedway is a world class museum for sure! 







Fireball Roberts

NASTRUCK
Yes it is a Pinto

Last week you saw the worlds fastest tow truck, this week the worlds fastest pick up!

A 1937 overhead cam Ford racing engine!

A Ford Talladega at Talladega! 




These guys were my heros as a kid!








The KING

Nice view of Richard Petty's office!

What's a Matador?








Many retired NASCARS were enlisted by Winston as promotional vehicles.
Owning a Dodge Magnum this was very cool!
Petty never won a race in the car, but it does have the distinction as the last Petty built  Dodge 

Piece sign headrest was a Petty Trademark!




Swoopy Chrysler Imperial

Budweiser with your KFC?




A museum worth the trip!
