Bristol Motor Speedway is one track that tends to be either loved or hated by fans and drivers alike. Racing purists who grew up driving or attending races at older short tracks usually love Bristol while those race fans and drivers raised on superspeedway racing tend to dislike the lower speeds. Bristol races are often the scene of the highest number of yellow-flag caution laps in the NASCAR season. With that many cars in such a small track, contact is almost inevitable - and exciting.
The short lap length at Bristol and the unpredictability of racing mean that this is one of the few remaining NASCAR tracks at which it is possible for a driver to come back to win a race from several laps down. At other modern tracks, especially superspeedways, comebacks like this are almost impossible. The short lap length can also hurt a driver - any unscheduled pit stop will always result in the driver going two or more laps down as it is almost impossible to get anything done to a car during the time taken to complete one circuit, especially under green-flag conditions.
The popularity and small size of Bristol Motor Speedway make it extremely difficult to get tickets, buy your Sharpie 500 tickets today!
