Bristol Night Race

Working at NASCAR, I have been trying to make my way to the different tracks to learn about them a little bit more. When my colleague and friend, Janet, asked if I wanted to go up with her for the day at the Bristol night race, I jumped right in! We helped out with a track walk and an autograph session. More than anything, it was interesting to get to see the Collesium of the South! Bristol is a short track--only a 1/2 mile around. Thus, it was very interesting to see 43 cars try to go around the track. I don't have a lot of pictures, but here are a few at least!

My view of the gate at the track. Taking pictures on the 23% grade was kind of a feat.
It is hard to believe that there will be set ups for 43 cars here later tonight.
