Move over‚ Daytona. Arguably the most popular track in all of stock-car racing is Bristol Motor Speedway.
The oval raceway known as “The Fastest Half Mile in the World” attracts nearly 160‚000 NASCAR fans twice a year for Nextel Cup events. The 36-degree banking in the corners leads to fender-bending‚ paint-scraping action.
The track‚ which opened in 1961 with 35‚000 seats‚ is located just over the state line in Bristol‚ Tenn.
