Talladega super speedway was named after the city Talladega in Alabama.
Talladega nights is the name of Will Ferrel's movie mocking racing. Nights was added because there is NIGHT racing at the track as well as DAY racing.

... Talladega was originally inhabited by Creek Indians, and its name was derived from Creek words meaning “border town.”

... The Creek language, also known as Muscogee (Mvskoke in Creek), is a Muskogean language spoken by the Muscogee (Creek) Nation and Seminole Indians in Oklahoma, Florida and (to a lesser extent) Alabama.

"Etymology" is the study of the origin of words.

couldn't tell you. I was ready for a very funny movie and it ended up being a bomb. Maybe I like racing to much for them to think for an instant that they could make it funny. Brian France has already taken the fun out of NA$CAR. Glad he only has the NA$CAR series.

For the history go to:
http://www.talladega.com/history.htm
that will tell you the early history of the area back when the Native Americans still lived there and tells how it became one of the major cities of Alabama.
