This was before his time.... LOL.
I was an employee at Talladega Superspeedway during the time the movie was filmed. Now THAT was fun, and free lunches for the weeks they were there.

I also worked there during the repaving of the track and have over 200 digital pictures of that procedure, taken by the project manager. Paving 36 degree banks was a interesting thing to watch.

Pavement Rollers don't handle the banks very well at 3 mph I take it...

All the paving equipment used on the track was teatherd to a huge bulldozer that ran around the top rim.
