I went to the Spring race a few years ago and used to go the Drag Race there every year.As far as Nascar race,its one of the best tracks to watch a race.They say the night race is better because the weather is warmer and its a night race.If you can get tickets,Id say go for it,youll definitely enjoy it.Comment -
A few things:
1. I love Nascar.
2. Bristol is awesome.
3. Bristol used to be legendary.
4. Go to Talladega.
5. Bristol is still a top 5 track; Richmond may now be ahead of it, Daytona and Dega are ahead of it, and who wouldn't wanna go to Vegas and gamble/watch Nascar
I went last year to the spring race though, it was unbelievable.Comment -
What is the hotel situation like around the race weekend? I will be flying in, is Charlotte the best option?
I live in Nevada and have been to the Vegas race, no great shakes. I grew up watching Saturday night short track racing so while this might sound weird, I am looking for the rednecky NASCAR experience and Bristol seems to be at the top of that list. Not a big fan of going to Dega, no desire to watch the cars pass by once every minute.Comment -
i live in knoxville, tn...about 90 min from the track
and yes, its amazing and a MUST attend for any real nascar/motor sports fan...especially the august night race..
it blows the spring race away....comparing spring to night race is apples to oranges...if u ever see the night race u wont to go any other time...ive been to night race 6 times, spring race 1 time (by choice)...i get free tickerts every year since i moved here
i go all the time and it never gets boring...never...and ive been to alot of tracks on the circuit including daytona, and none compare to bristol night raceComment -
You can get hotel closer than Charlotte..u can look around the tri-city area around Bristol and look in bluff city..if u book ahead u should have No problem getting a room 20-30 mins away tops..I go to both races every year and pull my camper but have got a room a few times and it's not too bad just try to book ahead of time and you will have No problem..It is a great race to watch and there's not a bad seat n the place cause u can c the action from anywhere..Any race fan would love itComment -
