Bumper-to-bumper racing, beating and banging, and hot tempers can all be found during a race at  Bristol Motor Speedway. Those aspects are what make Bristol special and they are some of the best and most classic characteristics in racing. Race fans fell in love with the sport by watching short track racing which is some of the most exciting racing in the world. Drivers don’t play nice at short tracks and by them doing that, the excitement level of those races increase. The classic short-track racing will be on display this weekend at Bristol and the races will feature the best of NASCAR. Continue reading →

Going to Bristol last August, hugely changed my perspective of that track and why fans love the Bristol Motor Speedway so much. Bristol isn’t just a race track, it’s a community. A community of fans and staff who love racing just as much as the fans do that travel from all over the world to the World’s Fastest Half Mile. Bristol doesn’t feature your typical track experience, it’s much more. After going to Bristol, I will forever watch the races at the track differently in the best way possible. Everyone will return home to the Bristol Motor Speedway this weekend.

Bristol is not just located in the Tennessee Hills, it’s located ON a Tennessee hill. Going to tracks like Daytona you can just walk on the flat pavement to the track. When you go to Bristol, you have to walk up a hill to get to the track. Not just a little hill but, a pretty big hill that has a pretty steep slope. The hill Bristol is on makes that track unique and it makes the Bristol experience even cooler. What other sporting venues can you say you had to walk up a hill to actually get to the venue? None comes to mind for me and that makes Bristol one special place. Continue reading →
