2006 Aaron's 499 at Talladega Superspeedway
For the second time in 2006 the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup drivers will race on a superspeedway. The massive 2.6 mile Talladega Superspeedway is the only other track (besides Daytona) that forces drivers to race with the horsepower-limiting restrictor plates. The plates make aerodynamics more important than anything else. This causes big drafting packs and a small mistake by any one driver can cause "The Big One" the big multi-car wreck that too often characterizes racing at Talladega.
