Talladega Short Track, affectionately called “The Hornet’s Nest”, is located across the street and
just east of the Talladega Super Speedway on Speedway Boulevard in Eastaboga, Alabama..
The track garnered national attention, and is ranked as one of the Top 25 speedways in USA
Today. The nickname “The Hornet’s Nest” was bestowed on the track and used frequently by
late Track Announcer Perry Holman as the action on the track is tight and ultra-competitive, thus
turning a field of Stock Cars loose on the high-banked, red clay oval is likened to kicking a
Hornet’s Nest as they begin buzzing with action!
Action takes place on the Stock Car Track every Saturday night from mid-March through mid-
October, and Friday night racing action on the 1/6 mile Raceway Park go-kart facility from April
through September with go-kart and Junior Late Model Racing.
