Bristol Motor Speedway

160,000 fans descend on The Last Great Colosseum for the spring NASCAR Cup Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway. The Food City 500 is one of the most anticipated races on the NASCAR calendar — the half-mile concrete bowl produces the closest, most intense racing in the sport. Race weekend transforms Sullivan County into one of the largest temporary cities in America, with tailgating, concerts, and a festival atmosphere that starts days before the green flag drops.
