Food City 500 Preview
The Food City 500 is giving drivers more options and bringing back an aggressive style of racing. Like the Night Race, they are putting a substance on the lower grip and Darrell Waltrip loves it. “Seemed like that sealer they put on the bottom really helped the racing there this past year, something that Jerry (Caldwell) wanted to try and it worked pretty good,” Waltrip said. “It’s what they use in drag racing. Think they ought to put it all over the whole track to tell you the truth, seal up the whole thing!”
For the first time ever fans are able to purchase tickets from Food City stores. Bristol Motor Speedway GM Jerry Caldwell said, "“It’s going to be a great option for race fans. Stop by Food City, you can pick up your tickets to the Food City 500 along with everything to tailgate with."
