Bristol Brings Out the Best in NASCAR

Single-lane racing is synonymous with short tracks. When the racing groove is smaller, it’s harder to pass the driver ahead of you so; drivers have to come up with unique ways to make passes. The famous way to make a pass at Bristol is the “bump and run” and that technique is what makes the racing exciting. Almost every driver will make that move during the race and it can get controversial. Tempers flare when drivers bump a guy out of the way and that leads to confrontation following the race. Pure excitement just tags along with classic short-track racing and those are just a few examples of how short-track racing puts on display the best racing in all of NASCAR.

When a track is only half of a mile long like Bristol is, the cars tend to stream out in a single-file line along the groove of the track.

Doing that creates the most exhilarating racing and it also could feature some pay-back later in the race.
