Totally worth it, no track compares to Bristol. Get your seats nice and high.

If I go I'll be taking the wife and probably use Premiere Sports Travel for all the details. They offer premium seats on the front straight, high up. I used them for Talledeaga two years ago and they were great.

I am there every year for the night race.
As a previous poster mentioned, nothing compares to Bristol.
We always get to the track about 9:00 a.m. and tailgate all day.
Food - $75
Ticket - $115
Drinking for 16 hours straight - Priceless

I'd love to go but airfare, accommodations and tickets for $2500. Not.

I've been going for 20 years. It's by far the favorite thing I do all year. If you never been there, the first time you walk-in the bull ring you just won't believe it. We rent a house with a swimming pool ,hot tub and all the goodies just about 2 miles from the track. It's a guys weekend for us ,and I get to see long time friends that I only get to see down there once a year. They haven't been selling it out in the last couple of years and I think it's partly do to them making it a two grove track. I don't think the racing is as good as it used to be before they changed the track ,but I still wouldn't miss it for the world (Well I did miss it one year because my daughter was in the hospital).

This is still the best finish to any bristol race yet. It happened right in front of us. Dale was pitting on the back stretch that night which was almost impossible to win from there ,but I think he hit just about every single car he passed that night including Terry for the win. He was not a like man that night.
