BackgroundTalladega Superspeedway, originally known as Alabama International Motor Superspeedway (AIMS), is a motorsports complex located north of Talladega, Alabama. It is located on the former Anniston Air Force Base in the small city of Lincoln. The track is a Tri-oval and was constructed by International Speedway Corporation, a business controlled by the France Family, in the 1960s. Talladega is most known for its steep banking and the unique location of the start/finish line - located just past the exit to pit road. The track currently hosts the NASCAR] series such as the Monster Energy Cup Series, Xfinity Series, and the Gander Outdoors Truck Series. Talladega Superspeedway is the longest NASCAR oval with a length of {{convert|2.66|mi|km}}, and the track at its peak had a seating capacity of 175,000 spectators.[3]SummaryThe race was the 44th event of the 1969 season. It is primarily remembered because all of the NASCAR stars from the Professional Driver Association (PDA), led by Richard Petty, boycotted the race due to tire failures during practice. The field was replaced by other drivers, which introduced future championship winning owner Richard Childress.[4] Because of the multiple tire failures, Firestone withdrew their tires from the race. Worried that the boycott would adversely affect the fan attendance, NASCAR President Bill France Sr. offered fans free admission to the 1970 Daytona 500 if they bought tickets to this race. On the morning before race day, Goodyear flew in a new set of tires that ran the entire race without failure. The race also introduced the Dodge Charger Daytona cars for the first in the series. Richard Brickhouse won the race, it was his only victory in the Cup Series. John Hill, Jake Elder, Harry Hyde, and Mack Howard were the most notable crew chiefs to witness the race.[5] The transition to purpose-built racecars began in the early 1960s and occurred gradually over that decade. Ray Fox and Jim Vandiver, whose No. 3 car finished second, were convinced that they actually lapped Brickhouse and won, but the win stood. The PDA disbanded soon after their boycott. Bobby Isaac won the pole for the race.[6]Drivers involved in the 1969 boycott
