A Brief Information about Bristol Motor Speedway
40 years ago Larry Carrier, Carl Moore and R. Pope gave birth to a dream on what was then a dairy farm in Eastern Tennessee. With an investment of $600,000, the partners purchased 100 acres and within a year construction was completed on what would soon become racing's fastest half-mile, Bristol Motor Speedway. The partners probably couldn’t even imagine at the time that the initial 18,000 seats would give way to 160,000, the largest sports venue in the state and the hardest ticket to acquire in NASCAR.
On July 30, 1961, NASCAR made its debut at Bristol Motor Speedway on the perfect 1/2-mile oval with 22-degree turns. Fred Lorenzen won the pole for the inaugural Volunteer 500 with a speed of 79.225 mph., where Jack Smith was credited despite having been relieved by Allen after the first 290 laps.
The track's configuration may have changed over the years, but the action at Thunder Valley has remained the same. 42 cars started in the 1st event and only 19 remained at the end. To this day, Bristol Motor Speedway remains a race of attrition in the NEXTEL Cup and Busch Series.
In 1969, Bristol Motor Speedway was reshaped and remeasured to 0.533 mile. 6 years later the track was sold to Hester and Gary Baker and in the spring of 1978 they renamed the venue Bristol International Raceway and showcased the action under the lights.
For the 2006 season, Bristol Motor Speedway played host for the Food City 500 and the Sharpie 500. Kurt Busch took the checkered flag in the Food City 500. Although his performance was controversial after he bumped Matt Kenseth with only four laps to go which eventually game him the lead and the win.
