The Bass Pro Shops Bristol Night Race may not be one of NASCAR’s Crown Jewels, but the 500-lap race still is one of the more popular events on the circuit. It’s a traditional fan favorite, with the cars tightly packed on the concrete oval known as “The World’s Fastest Half-Mile.”
Tennessee sports betting has its turn in the spotlight with the Bass Pro Shops Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway. The first round of NASCAR’s playoffs will come to an end Saturday, Sept. 21 at Bristol Motor Speedway. Bristol’s narrow, half-mile track with steep-banked turns has been known to cause havoc, and that could play a part in determining which four drivers will be cut from the championship chase. It’ll be NASCAR’s second trip to the Tennessee track this season. In March, Denny Hamlin won the Food City 500, coming out on top of a race that featured 54 lead changes, the most ever at NASCAR short track race.
