re: Which event is better to go to Daytona or Talladega?

Can’t go wrong with either. Been to both tracks. Both extremely similar as far as racing goes. Depends on how you’re traveling. If you’re in a RV, I’d go Dega for the infield. If you’re looking for a vacation, and stuff outside the track, Daytona. Also probably depends on the race. Obviously Daytona 500 is the best race, and I would recommend Daytona if they still had the 4th of July race, but they don’t anymore. Daytona is also home to me so I’m a little bias. So I’d go to a race anytime in Daytona before Talladega. Daytona just has a more big time feel to it. It’s built up like a NFL football stadium outside, they have a better museum with each previous Daytona 500 car in there. The party is probably bigger/ more southern at Dega, but Daytona is Nascar. That’s where the super bowl is held, and where the greatest driver of all time died. Imo Daytona has a feel that is more special than Talladega.

Talladega was a a great 5 days we stayed in the infield I was 27 and with my boys it was spring break for an adult I would highly recommend.

Well that's dumb. Especially with kids going back to school so early now.
It was a TV decision, I'm sure. It's the last race before the playoffs, which is honestly kind of diabolical.

The infield is awesome at Dega, but for a truly shocking and trashy event you have to go across the highway. The space between the road and the interstate is chock full of freaks camping in tents and the backs of trucks. Freak show gets cranked up by 10 pm like you have never seen.

I don’t think you could go wrong with either. I think Talladega has the better racing, and definitely is a huge party if you’re there for camping. However, if you have the opportunity to go to the Daytona 500, that’s hard to pass up because of what it is.
This.

Man it's tame compared to what it once was. 9/11 really killed a lot of the anything goes there back in the day. Before that it was pure chaos. We watched two morons line their trucks up head to head and gun it one night.

Free camping at Dega. That’s where you get to see midgets fricking.

The beach this time of year with kids if you have them is a massive plus for Daytona i would imagine. Also if their small the boogie board riding being a blast there. Only second to sebastian inlet.
I have no clue about Talladega but i would imagine the eating spots are better in Daytona but could be dead wrong .Right off the beach you got games games for kids. Say it rains movie theater with bubba gump shrimp and others right there too.
Daytona isn't far from gainesville so yeah i love it id literally sleep in my car or before i had one the beach. Unless i met a generous girl.
Hell even black bike can be a fricking blast. Im white btw but in my younger days women actually would approach me there.

I agree. I'll add it depends on what mood you are in. You can go full redneck at Talladega or you can enjoy beaches and the strip at Daytona.
There's no wrong answer, but Talladega offers better racing because of the track width

Talladega and I dont even like nascar. It’s an event everyone should experience once tho.
