Track History
Work began on what was then called Bristol International Speedway in 1960 and it took approximately one year to finish. Officials scratched many ideas for the track on envelopes and brown paper bags. In 1996, Bruton Smith purchased the track and it under went a makeover, which now boasts a seating capacity of more than 160,000.more
