Horrible
Bristol Motor Speedway - Bristol
Our entrance barcodes wouldn't load. 45 minutes standing at the gate waiting for a silly barcode....Physical tickets are so much better.

First time there, though it was very Family friendly. The police presents was good, didn’t see any people acting out of line. The shuttle System was very efficient and helped with walking.

It was a challenge to park.

Great Race; Great Seats; Food Service Failed
Bristol Motor Speedway - Bristol
Front Stretch, Row 58. Only 1 Concession Stand open on the upper level, and they ran out of food items before the middle of the event. Went to lower level Concession Stand and ended up with a cold hot dog on a warm bun and cold nacho cheese on warm tortilla chips. Worst Food Service Experience of any other race I've been to.

Crazy
Bristol Motor Speedway - Bristol
This was one of the coolest and craziest things i’ve ever seen. I did not intend to wear ear plugs because im not sensitive to noise, but omg this race was LOUD. Earplugs are definitely recommended, and even with them its loud. Just imagine the loudest thunder you ever heard going on for 4 hours. The speed of the cars, bits of tire flying into the stands, its wild. We had a blast. Definitely worth the drive!!

About Bristol Motor Speedway
You can tell a lot about the character of Bristol Motor Speedway from the nicknames assigned to the venue by racing fans. There are four in wide circulation: "The Last Great Colosseum" and "The Bullring" for the track's shape; "The World's Fastest Half-Mile" for its speed (cars complete laps in about 15 seconds); and "Thunder Valley" for its noise. The track is steeply banked and ringed with stadium-style seating. With a capacity of 162,000, it is the third-largest sports venue in the United States and the seventh-largest in the world.
Bristol Motor Speedway History
Bristol Motor Speedway, located in the northeast corner of Tennessee, opened in 1961. It was built by Carl Moore, Larry Carrier, and R.G. Pope on the site of a former dairy farm. They drew their inspiration from a trip to Charlotte Motor Speedway, but the $600,000 Bristol track was a more intimate (and noisier) venue, and in 1969 the track was reconfigured with its signature steep banks. In 1992, BMS replaced its asphalt surface with a concrete surface that is now its other hallmark. It is something of a celebrity, having served as the basis for the fictional Motor Speedway of the South in the Disney/Pixar film Cars.
The speedway is home to races in the NASCAR Cup Series, the NASCAR Xfinity Series, NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series, ARCA Menards Series East, and the NHRA Mello Yellow Drag Racing Series. In the Cup Series, racing great Richard Petty holds the track record for most Top 10 finishes (with 37) and most starts (with 60). Darrell Waltrip leads with 12 all-time wins. The all-time winningest car owner at BMS is the legendary Junior Johnson, with 21 victories. Over the course of a week in 2010, Kyle Busch made history by winning three NASCAR national series races in a single race meeting: the Truck Series race on a Wednesday, then the Nationwide Series race, and the Spring Cup Series race.
