TALLADEGA, Ala. (April 11, 2025) – The City of Talladega and Talladega Superspeedway announced today that NASCAR Cup Series driver Joey Logano will be inducted into the Talladega Walk of Fame at Davey Allison Memorial Park. The three-time Cup Series winner at the famed superspeedway is set to join a prestigious list of NASCAR legends on Friday, April 25 at 5:30 p.m.

“Joey is no stranger to visiting victory lane at Talladega and his continued success has earned him a well-deserved spot among NASCAR’s greatest in the Talladega Walk of Fame,” said Brian Crichton, Talladega Superspeedway President. “Joey is a remarkable talent for our sport and his passion and dedication to racing will continue to be on full display for years to come.”

Former Talladega City Council President James E. Spratlin will also be honored for assisting in the establishment of the Talladega-Texaco Walk of Fame and Davey Allison Memorial Park. Festivities will include the induction ceremony, food trucks, vendors and live music. Sponsors include the City of Talladega, Talladega Superspeedway, Talladega Bottling Works, RK Allen Oil, First Bank of Alabama, the Talladega Lincoln Munford Chamber of Commerce and TOP Trails.

“The Walk of Fame Induction Ceremony at Davey Allison Memorial Park honors outstanding drivers and attracts race fans from near and far,” said Talladega City Manager Derrick Swanson. “We are thankful to Talladega Superspeedway and other community partners who are committed to helping the City of Talladega preserve this cherished tradition. We are also appreciative of the thousands of tourists and race car fans who have visited Davey Allison Memorial Park since 1994 to view plaques dedicated to their favorite drivers. We encourage fans to explore the city, dine, and shop while they are in Talladega for race weekend.”

Logano has three career Cup Series wins at Talladega Superspeedway (2015, 2016, 2018) and has multiple top 10 finishes at the biggest and baddest track on the NASCAR circuit. Logano’s Team Penske teammate Ryan Blaney was inducted into the Talladega Walk of Fame during the 2023 ceremonies. It’s no secret that Logano hopes to follow up the induction ceremony by securing his fourth career win at Talladega during the upcoming Jack Link’s 500 race weekend.

Previous inductees include the likes of NASCAR Hall of Famers such as Dale Earnhardt, Richard Petty, Bobby Allison, Donnie Allison, Red Farmer, Cale Yarborough and more. For a full list of inductees, please visit Walk of Fame | City of Talladega.
