"The
Worlds Fastest Half-Mile", Bristol Motor Speedway, located in
Thunder Valley, Tennessee is one of
the most popular tracks in NASCAR. This all-concrete construction
is similar to
Dover, except far shorter. The track is so short that
speeds here are far lower than is typical on most NASCAR oval
tracks, but very fast compared to other short tracks due to the
high banking, making for a considerable amount of "swapping
paint".The congestion inherent in this facility and the power
of the cars has been likened to "flying fighter jets in a
gymnasium".
