Bristol – Yes

There was a time not too many years ago when one race at Bristol was more than enough. The racing changed dramatically after it’s reconfiguration in 2007.

Since then the fans haven’t been buying what Bruton Smith and the folks at Bristol are selling. However, it’s hard to discount the efforts that’s been put into resurrecting Bristol’s former status. The track has since been reworked many times since 2007 in an effort to produce racing better.

A day race in the spring and a night race each August has become tradition. The track gets better each time the Cup series visits and continues to showcase “racin’ the way it ought’a be!”
