 Since the day it first opened in September 1969, the Talladega Superspeedway has become a national landmark in the world of professional motor sports. For almost 40 years, fans of high speed auto racing have enjoyed the ups and downs that have taken place at the world famous Talladega Superspeedway.

The lame-duck driver of the No. 8 Budweiser Chevrolet revealed Wednesday in Dallas his plan to drive the No. 88 Chevrolet Impala SS for Hendrick Motorsports next year with dual sponsorship from existing Hendrick partners, the US National Guard and Pepsi-Cola.
