Talladega Gran Prix Raceway, was built in the fall of 1985 by two brothers, David and Mike Upchurch as well as a third partner Gerald Rhodes. The track was built at the site of an old cattle farm. David had been road racing in the area with several friends for awhile and became frustrated with the travel and expense of getting track time. So the search was on to find an alternative. It started with the idea of just building a practice track and this led to a larger parcel of land which prompted the decision to go full bore and build a racing facility. So with the help of family, numerous friends, racing buddies and a little luck the track was completed.
