    Absolutely love Bristol! Lots of good memories of me, my dad, and my grandfather going to the night race for 15 years straight since 1995. Wish my grandfather felt good enough to keep going with me. Thanks for the memories!

    My father in law got me into nascar by asking me to go with him in his RV to Talladega in 1997. Although I went just to spend some quality time with an amazing man, I ended up becoming a huge fan. After that trip, we would go to 3 or 4 races every year and I had the time of my life. We only attended one Bristol race and it just so happened to be the race where Sr. Wrecked T. Labonte on the last lap for the win in 1999. Right or wrong, it was fun to watch. My Father in law passed away a few months ago and I miss him a lot. Thank you Pop for being like a 2nd dad to me. May you rest in piece.

    I became a NASCAR fan in 2002. My dad had liked Jeff Gordon for several years prior so naturally I became a Gordon fan too. That 2002 night Bristol race was fantastic. There was so much drama and action. Plus, Jeff ended a 31 race winless streak. It's one of his wins that really stand out. Rusty and his fans would probably like to forget this night and the 1997 Food City 500.

Funny part is my buddy did the Same thing. We couldn't wait to go and we both snoozed the entire race. There's several pictures of us that still seem to get brought up every so often.

    2 things I'll never understand about Bristol, 1. Why is the Night race at Bristol not considered a Crown Jewel Race? It's only one of the most popular races in the history of NASCAR. 2. How has there never been a 1 hour documentary made by Fox Sports or NBC sports made about Bristol Motor Speedway? I know Dave Despain done that one thing about the history of BMS, mainly about the origins, but there should be one made about the complete history of BMS. And if that ever happens have DW narrate.
