A couple of years ago Carl Edwards was flipped into the catch fence and 8 people got hurt.
Talladega is probably best suited for testing or tuning. The competition is a little crazy.

Talladega has a road course that only needs to be repaved to put into service. It hasn't been run in many, many years. Alas, they missed the boat big time thinking that folks in AL didn't care about road racing.
I guess Barber Motorsports Park showed that not to be the case. One more time, unless you've been to Talladega, you just don't sense the appeal. But, I was surprised to read VaSteve say that only 88K people attended.
