Talladega Superspeedway will have an energy-absorbing barrier around its entire 2.66-mile track when NASCAR visits Oct. 22-25.

The track has added 8,000 feet of SAFER barrier this year following the Feb. 21 crash of Kyle Busch into an unprotected inside concrete wall near Turn 1 of Daytona International Speedway. Busch suffered a broken right leg and left foot.

Talladega had added three sections of the barrier, which costs approximately $500-600 per foot, before its race weekend in May and has completed covering the entire outside and inside walls with the barrier.

"Safety of our competitors and fans is our top priority, and we will continue to review the facility and provide updates as circumstances warrant," Talladega chairman Grant Lynch said.
