Yeah baby!

I'm very exceited about Bristol. I've jumped on the Jeff Burton wagon. It was great seeing him win that Bush race. It's fun to root for him and RCR to get to a level where they can battle it out with Hendrick and RCR.

Also looking forward to watching Johnson win again.

i lived within 400 yards of bristol every summer since i was little. used to go spend the summers with my grandparents down there. we used to sell the front yard parking 20 bucks a car.it brought a lot of money to the town. the best was thunder valley dragway on the weekends. my GOD!! you never heard a noise so loud for 5 seconds before anywhear!!!!. it would echo off the mountains and you could hear it 10 miles away.
lotta old school monte carlos all over the town when they used to flatbed the cars in before these humungus tractor trailers nowadays.
good times back then seen a LOTTA races there... walked the trac many times they never locked the place up back then.

those banks are steep

Bristol's a blast.Best track in Nascar IMO.

Qualifying got rained/snowed out.They still line up by points but they go by last years final standings.I don't like that at all.They should do it the way they've always done it,line up current points.

It must be cool for you to see how much that track has grown over the years.

You're right but I like to point fingers at Bristol. It's part of the fun.
