Construction crews descended upon the Talladega Superspeedway immediately following Sunday's Amp Energy 500 to begin a $13 million grandstand renovation project.

“This will be a fantastic upgrade for our frontstretch grandstand customers,” said Talladega Superspeedway President Rick Humphrey.  “The new seats are much more comfortable and the wider aisles will be easier to get in and out of during trips to the concession stand. It’s a big project for us and I’m sure the fans can’t wait for us to get started.”

Workers have begun Phase One of the project which spans from the Gadsden grandstands in Turn Four through section C of the OV Hill South grandstands in the Tri-oval. New 21-inch seats with armrests and
cupholders are replacing the current 17-inch seats and seat aisles will also be widened from 36 inches to 48 inches.

Talladega Superspeedway officials also announced a new pricing structure for many Talladega seat locations.  Single-day seats in the Gadsden, Lincoln, Anniston and Talladega Towers have been reduced to $95 from $120. Two-day tickets in the Allison Grandstands, one of the best values in all of motorsports, have been further reduced to $49 from $60.
