USA TODAY 10Best Readers' Choice Awards
Best Motorsports Race
Each fall, 40 racers take to the longest track on the NASCAR Cup Series circuit to battle to the checkered flag at the YellaWood 500. "Part superspeedway racing, part unhinged Spring Break, part 200,000-person Bible study, Talladega never fails to shock," says expert Mike Guy. If your driver can make it to the end of the race without crashing out during "the Big One" – the massive wreck that takes out many of the competitors – they have a great chance at claiming victory.
