Bristol Motor Speedway
Unarguably the most exciting half-mile in motorsports, Bristol Motor Speedway is nestled in the hills of the Tennessee/Virginia border. Construction began on this world famous facility in 1960 by Carl Moore, Larry Carrier and RG Pope and was completed one year later with the first Cup Series race held July 1961. This gave the motorsports world a perfect .5 mile oval known as the "World's Fastest Half Mile".
In 1969 the track was reshaped and remeasured, making the half mile oval now .533 miles with a 40 foot wide racing surface. The straightaways offer banks of 6-10 degrees and the turns are banked at 24-30 degrees. This same year is when Larry Carrier sold the Speedway to Bruton Smith's Speedway Motorsports, Inc for 26 million dollars and the name officially changed from Bristol International Speedway to Bristol Motor Speedway. After years of renovations and additions, the fishbowl shaped motorsports facility now has a seating capacity of more than 160,000 fans.
Experience a race here and you'll understand why this is the most popular track in NASCAR.
