NASCAR returns to Bristol this weekend for the annual night race. Check out five drivers who could come out on top at The Last Great Colosseum.

The race to make the Chase is growing more and more interesting as each week goes by. This weekend, finishing the race becomes a little bit harder, as NASCAR visits Bristol Motor Speedway–one of the shortest tracks in the entire circuit.

Bristol is one of the trickiest tracks the Cup Series visits all year because of how small the track is. A wreck from a car that has already been lapped a couple of times can take out a major contender simply because there’s no room to avoid the accident.

Among the news heading into the weekend is the Chase bubble, as drivers like Kyle Larson, Trevor Bayne, Kasey Kahne and Ryan Blaney continue to fight for the final spot. A little further down the standings comes Chris Buescher as he is only three points from 30th-place and a spot in the Chase.

Also, Jeff Gordon–who has had some memorable moments at Bristol–will be back in the No. 88 car as Dale Earnhardt Jr. continues to recover from concussion-like symptoms.

With the excitement of a night race on the horizon, let’s take a look at five drivers who could pull off a win on Saturday.
