The oldest person, at one time, was a young man with hopes and dreams - his whole life ahead of him. Like the cars at Talladega, life moves fast. And when those cold October winds get colder and your life is one lap from the checkered flag. It's the times, with family and friends, you will cherish the most. Don't take it for granted.

My husband was in a terrible accident. A coma for months. When I finally got to bring him home. The bed was in the living-room. I would set the clock radio low, so he could wake up slowly to some stimulation. EVERY morning this song came on for a couple months. When I hear it, it brings it all back. So bitter sweet.

My life long life of addiction prevented me from doing many things. I always had a dream of taking my father to a Nascar race, was never with in my reach. My dad was dying and I finally got my shit right and was able to take him to the race in Fontana , Ca. I will never forget that day. I bought him the best seats at the very top., He took him about 20 minutes to get up there and I was so scared. I didn't think he'd make it up. But he did, and I can say with a blessed heart when my father died, he was very proud of his son who changed his life. When he passed I was making a 100k a year. Far reach from being an addict homeless, with 4 Children. I Miss you dad. See you soon pal. R.I.P Thanks for making this song Eric.

When I was a little boy I occasionally would watch Nascar with my neighbor. It was simple entertainment but I remember several of the names and I became attached to the #52 (who I rarely saw) who shared my last name and my friend liked the #2 who shared his first name, Dale (he later drove the #3). I watched little racing for years but I always loved fast roaring cars and saw some highlights on ESPN. Fast forward to 1993 and I had a dependable pickup and spent the summer traveling in the Southeast as my friend had moved outside Atlanta (from LA). On the way I drove right past Talladega on I-20 and thought "so that's the speedway; DAMN its big!" Later that summer Davey was killed in the helicopter there. Fast forward to 2007 I had just posted up in OKC and decided I was going to Talladega for October race(by this time I was an avid racing fan and especially NASCAR). It was a fun time and for anyone who hasn't gone to the track let me tell you camp in the free camping areas (about 3/4 mile from track) and enjoy a Mardi Gras like experience!! Races were good too (Trucks, Cup)

We went with barely enough money to eat and buy gas, so when it rained out til Monday we had a hard choice, go home, or sleep in the van and come back, we slept in that van in the Walmart parking lot. We never let the bad weather or anything ruin our good time as we sat around the back of that van listening to some good tunes having our own little tailgate in that parking lot. I’ll never forget that and we all still talk about it to this day

The week prior the NASCAR series raced at Talladega, at this time he was still coherent enough to speak, said to my mom “if your gonna put me in a home, just make sure it’s after Talladega” that was never an option and he did pass at his home. He just wanted one more race and he got it. I miss you so much Grandpa and I hope your in the afterlife driving something FAST and racing against all the drivers that you looked up to.

Dear God, this song beautifully breaks my heart. Will forever be a favorite.
This is my favorite song by the Chief. However, I do wish this music video was actually filmed at Talladega Superspeedway. Would've been much cooler. It's a bit odd hearing about Talladega Superspeedway when looking at Nashville Superspeedway.

***** No, it's about reminiscing on great times had. However, the setting for the great memory is Talladega Superspeedway. The song isn't about Talladega, but this song is like a story, and the setting is Talladega. Whether or not it's about Talladega, we should still be seeing Talladega rather than Nashville when hearing about Talladega.

Joshua Therrien That is a very touching interpretation, but the song doesn't say anything about a WWII veteran or someone passing away. I'm not sure where you got that idea, maybe it's your own personal connection, but it is a very touching one. To further elaborate on my explanation, the song is simply about cherishing great times with loved ones. The superspeedway is just the setting for this narration. Please don't think I'm insulting your interpretation. As I said, it's a very touching interpretation of this song. I think with how general this song is (it's not specific as to who's enjoying the race, we just know it's three friends, one of them driving his dad's Winnebago), we can each make our own specific interpretations. You know, our own interpretations don't even have to be about Talladega. I cherish my days as a young boy going to California Speedway with my mom and good friend. We've been going every year since 2002. I can listen to "Talladega" and think about how much I love the great times we've had and continue to have at Auto Club Speedway. "I wanted it to be about the emotional attachment that people have to a memory that involved going to a race. It wasn't about the race. It was about being with the people there and having that escapism." - Eric Church

I remember feeling the same way. So many people tell you they feel otherwise, and that they can't wait to go to college/grow-up/etc. They aren't cherishing the beautiful times and people they are with and it's just a bit unfortunate. Keep on keeping on 👍🏼(I am 22 btw, not some boomer)

I love Eric Church. He brings his songs to life. His music is so good for the soul! My husband was in the hospital he had never been sick in his life other than colds and the normal things. The Drs finally found that he had an abscess in his intestines. Anyway they were moving him to another hospital to have emergency surgery that evening. I jumped in his truck to run home and grab some close , call a few people , then meet him at the other hospital. I was crying and all upset...they said if he didn't have the surgery he would die. When I started his truck he had Eric Church in the cd player. It did my heart good and just a soothing feeling came over me and I knew my husband was going to be ok.
