Latest-Ever Talladega Weekend Produces ‘Hallow-Dega’ Festivities
When the 2009 schedule was announced and Talladega Superspeedway was assigned a date well past its traditional early October weekend, track officials made an easy decision:
It’s Halloween; let’s have a party.
Thus the genesis of Hallow-Dega to be observed Saturday with fun literally from dawn to the beginning of November.
Fan activities include a scream contest at the SPEED stage; costume contest; a haunted maze; fortune teller; wax hands interactive display; pumpkin seed spitting contest; Halloween characters and a hall of mirrors.
The above events will take place in the track’s display area.

Following the conclusion of Saturday’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Mountain Dew 250 Fueled by Fred’s, a four-band concert will take place in the display area. The concert is free to race fans.
All four bands will return for Sunday concerts: Houston County and Blackberry Smoke to the display area; LoCash Cowboys from 10-10:45 a.m. in the hospitality village and Colt Ford at the same time for Allison Grandstand customers.
All AMP Energy 500 ticket holders are invited to a 9 p.m. Q& A with Dale Earnhardt Jr. at the Infield Stage to be followed by another concert featuring one of the nation’s hottest country groups the Zac Brown Band. Southern Ground Records artists Levi Lowrey, Nic Cowan and Sonia Leigh also will perform.
Motor Racing Outreach will present four Christian-themed concerts on Friday and Saturday nights (8-11 p.m.) open to overnight parking customers.
Who So Ever will play in West B; The River at Family at Renaissance in West C and Trackside the Band at North Park.
