International Motorsports Hall of Fame - Lincoln, Alabama

We just happened to be in the area for an overnight stay as we headed out on vacation. I only stopped for a minute to take a pic of the sign at Talledaga racetrack when we saw that the museum was open early on a Sunday morning. We took the tour of the track and the museum. Loved every minute of it!

The lady working the desk at this place was the sweetest, most helpful, kind person to my boys and I. She knew a lot about the museum which made the tour that much more interesting. There is a shop located in the main entrance but they are not affiliated with the track and are not allowed to sell any nascar licensed merchandise. The price is great and we only spent about an hour on here but definitely enjoyed ourselves and learned a lot. A ton of Dale memorabilia as well as one room dedicated to honor him, his dad and his son’s racing careers. The wrecked cars come withe full stories of the crashes.

Too cool to finally get there. I've been looking forward to seeing the race track for a long time now. The Northern Lights brought me there. No N. L. To see but to see the truly amazing speedway was unforgettable. Clean, and beautiful, even the security patrol guy was pretty awesome letting me and my girl hang out that night on the 11th I believe. Such a memory to have. I'll never forget that evening.

Talladega!!!! Can’t have had a better visit unless I was there for the race. The kind lady ( Brenda) at the gift shop was just an awesome treat. Told me stories listened to me and even took pictures of me. For me. THANK YOU!!!!
I’ll remember that hour for as long as I live. Been trying to get there since the 70s . All my NASCAR men and women run there and I love them all.

This is my second visit to the International Motorsports Hall of Fame and the first for my partner. During my yearly migration from Arkansas to Florida during Christmas and new years I pass right by Talladega every time. My last visit, which was nearly 6 years ago, was not anywhere as good as this visit was.

We started at the museum, and enjoyed seeing the many vehicles on display. Some of our favorites were the Budweiser Rocket, Jeff Gordon's 24 Car, and of course Ricky Bobbys Car from the Movie Talladega Nights.

They had recently reinvaded the 3 Building to represent Alabama Racing history and the renovation was incredible, and to see the remainder of the wreckage of crashes that drivers walked away from was impressive and truly a feat of safety engineering as much of the displayed wreckage did not resemble a car but rather a pile of parts and pieces. that was one of the most awe inspiring moments at the museum.

anyone who visits the museum, should heavily consider the track tour, I was on the fence about it as the last time I had been it wasn't as good as this experience. But my partner hadn't been and I wasn't going to ruin their experience by bringing up my past experience.

I am so glad I went on the track tour. Last time it was a simple drive around the track and back to the museum, this time it was a full tour of the entire track. we made our way up to the grandstands and drove under them to an elevator. The elevator took us to the top floor of the track and our "Ohh Wow" moment was stepping off the elevator and seeing the entirety of the track below us, it was truly breathtaking.

Following the grand stand experience we went down and thru one of the tunnels to reach the infield portion of the track and we went to the victory circle and were able to take pictures inside victory circle. After victory circle we made our way past the garages and over to Big Bills. After seeing big bills we made our way back to the van and headed out to the track, we were able to see the incredible steep banked angles and our driver got us up to 70 mph (on the Straight) to try the best to simulate the feeling of what it would be like to go around the track at speed, he did say you'll have to use your imagination of what 180 mph would be like. We then stopped at the finish line were we were able to stop and sign the finish line and of course take pictures. I truly was impressed by this experience and its was truly worth it.

Great display of race cars. As a lifelong NASCAR fan and particularly a “Alabama Gang” fan I really enjoyed the cars and other memorabilia. I highly recommend if you are a fan.

Wow, what a great experience! The track tour made it really cool even though we couldn't walk the track this particular day.

I recommend taking this opportunity with the track tour.

Very neat racing museum. Lots of cars. Lots of history also.
