Im going to talladega this weekend and i was skimming through bama's laws and nothing really caught my eye that was much differnet from Ga Carry Laws. I basically read some weird rules for sporting events and buildings with "security measures" and that if there is a "No Gun" sign it might be a good idea to not proceed but that wasnt cut and dry. Is there anything i may have missed that i need to know about for this weekend?

You're right. If he's going to the Superspeedway, it says here that firearms aren't allowed.
And if they search or observe a firearm then they will be asked to leave. Violating a private business policy doesn't bother me. Empowering with the force of law DOES!

Alabama has both stand your ground (castle law in public) and castle law/doctrine as of August 2013.
There are no Alabama laws to prohibit carrying lawfully in an establishment that serves alcohol.
State forest are off limits but WMA, State parks and rest areas are good to go.
