Decisions for race fans and guests of Bristol Motor Speedway on where to park and how to get in and out are a bit easier to make with park and ride shuttle options in the region.

Two choices, one in Tennessee and one in Virginia, give fans a chance to let someone else do the driving to the NASCAR events at Bristol Motor Speedway March 15 and 16.

Current locations are: Sullivan Central High School at Tennessee Exit 66 — 113 Shipley Ferry Road in Blountville, Tenn., — and Sugar Hollow Park in the Exit 7 area of Bristol, Va.

At least one more location at Exit 7 is expected to be added soon.

“This is an expansion of the program we have had for two or three years now,” said Jerry Caldwell, executive vice president and general manager of Bristol Motor Speedway. “One of the main questions new fans ask is ‘where do I park,’ and one of the main issues we have heard from locals is traffic. By offering various locations in in the area, guests can let someone else deal with parking and traffic. They just ride.”

Details of departure times and costs from each location follow.
