Official Release

Following four races in the Carolinas as part of NASCAR’s return to the track, the focus shifts to ‘The World’s Fastest Half Mile’ in Bristol, Tennessee, as the NASCAR Cup Series battles for 500 laps Sunday afternoon.

NASCAR heads to Tennessee where the NASCAR Cup Series (NCS) and NASCAR Xfinity Series (NXS) will compete at Bristol Motor Speedway. Toyota drivers have experienced quite a bit of success at the half-mile short track.

We are headed to Bristol in Tennessee. It’s the world’s fastest half mile. It’s a concrete oval, which suits my driving style so well growing up on short tracks all over the country.

Last fall at Bristol Motor Speedway, Matt DiBenedetto, having learned just days before that he would be a free agent in 2020, turned in a performance that won the hearts of fans both at the track and across the NASCAR nation.

I feel like our No. 38 Scag Power Equipment team has a lot of momentum going for us right now. We've had some really encouraging, really strong runs at Darlington and Charlotte over the last couple of weeks.

Bristol is the home track of our team owner Bob Jenkins, so we always look forward to going there and performing well.

Joe Gibbs Racing driver Brandon Jones was made available to media via videoconference prior to the Cheddar’s 300 this Monday:

Matt DiBenedetto, driver of the No. 21 Motorcraft Ford Mustang, is currently 11th in the NASCAR Cup Series point standings heading into this weekend’s race at Bristol Motor Speedway. He was part of NASCAR’s media availability session this morning and spoke about returning to the half-mile short track.

RYAN PREECE, NO. 37 BUSH’S BEANS CAMARO ZL1 1LE, met with media via teleconference and discussed the season thus far, how the hectic schedule has been for him, his expectations at Bristol this coming Sunday, and more. Full Transcript:

Monday night prime time at Bristol! The Cup race got delayed at Charlotte, so we’re going to get to run Monday night – not Saturday. Make sure you remember that.
