The staff at the NASCAR Hall of Fame, have not forgotten about us big kids this Halloween. After all, if we are at the Hall of Fame, we are not at Talladega watching one of the most exciting races of NASCAR's Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship. The 2.66 mile speedway is legendary on the NASCAR circuit and has decided more than a few championships over the years. Jimmie Johnson, Denny Hamlin and Kevin Harvick are separated by only 62 points in the Chase and need to keep their noses clean and watch out for the "Big One'.

NASCAR fans looking to spice up Halloween weekend and not miss out on the high banks of Talladega Super Speedway's AMP Energy Juice 500, can take part in a Race Day Experience. The AMP Energy Juice 500 will be showing on the state-of-the-art screen in the Belk High Octane Theater on Sunday, Oct. 31. This two story behemoth is one of a kind and guarantees a race experience that should not be missed. Guests can hear a lap-by-lap commentary, listen in on the drivers and crew dialogues or keep up to speed with the calls made by NASCAR officials. Seating is based on a first-come, first-serve. The Belk High Octane Theater seats 278. Doors to the Race Experience open at 12:30 p.m. The race begins at 1 p.m.

Tickets to the Race Day Experience only are $5 and include a FREE simulator ride and scanner use. If you're a fan of NASCAR and Halloween, get the Full Race Day Experience which includes admission to both, the NASCAR Hall of Fame and Race Day Experience, a FREE simulator ride, scanner use and a souvenir lanyard.
