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 Sprint Cup Series, Xfinity Series, and the Camping World 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.[2]SummaryThere were 41 American-born drivers on the starting grid; 21 of them failed to finish the race. Most of the problems were engine failures. After 188 laps and five caution flags, Darrell Waltrip would defeat David Pearson by a minute and two seconds in front of a crowd of eighty thousand fans. After many lead changes, Waltrip lead the final 55 laps.[3] The race averaged {{convert|161.229|mph|km/h}} for the 500 miles while Neil Bonnett would earn his pole position in qualifying with a speed of {{convert|193.6|mph|km/h}}.[3] Kyle Petty would earn ninth place in his inaugural Winston Cup race after starting 18th. Bob Burcham and Al Holbert would make this race their individual swan songs.[4] The total prize purse at this event was $205,680 (${{formatnum:{{Inflation|US|205680|1979|r=0}}}} when adjusted for inflation). While the winner would collect $32,325 of this purse (${{formatnum:{{Inflation|US|32325|1979|r=0}}}} when adjusted for inflation), the last-place finisher, Dick May, would collect $1,050 (${{formatnum:{{Inflation|US|1050|1979|r=0}}}} when adjusted for inflation).[5] Oldsmobile would rack up their 100th victory in the history of the NASCAR Cup Series.
