After a two-month layoff from the series, Ricky Benton Racing (RBR) Enterprises and driver Corey LaJoie are making their return to the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) Wednesday for the UNOH 200 at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Bristol is just one of two tracks where Brad Keselowski has produced multiple NASCAR Sprint Cup Series victories (Kentucky is the other track). He won back-to-back races at Bristol starting in the fall of 2011 and then in the spring race of his NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) Championship season of 2012.
No. 55 Aaron’s Dream Machine driver Brian Vickers will rely on veteran spotter Roman Pemberton to guide him during Saturday night’s race. With the cars turning 16-second laps, Bristol is a challenge for Pemberton and all spotters atop the Bristol stands.
If there is a track where Marcos Ambrose feels he can put himself into The Chase in the remaining races, Bristol Motor Speedway is one of them. Ambrose has six Top-10 and three Top-Five finishes at the half-mile oval and finished fifth at the track in March. It has proved to be one of the most successful ovals for Ambrose in his Sprint Cup career.
Aric Almirola and the No. 43 team, now #ChaseBound, return to Bristol Motor Speedway confident in a top finish. The team contended for the lead late in the race earlier this season and scored a third-place finish, Almirola's career-best Sprint Cup finish at the Tennessee track.
Justin Allgaier will make his second NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) start at Bristol Motor Speedway (BMS) this Saturday night. He finished 17th in his first NSCS race at BMS in March. Allgaier has 10 starts in the NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) at BMS, with one win in March 2010 and one Coors Light Pole Award in March 2013.

David Starr will be back behind the wheel of the No. 44 NCCER/Build Your Future Camry this weekend at Bristol Motor Speedway. Starr has two previous NASCAR Nationwide Series starts at "The Fastest Half-Mile" speedway. He has an average starting position of 30.5 and an average finishing position of 36.0. In his seventh race with the TriStar Motorsports crew, Starr is ready to go from running super speedways to running a short-track race.
After a strong run in last weekend's event at Mid-Ohio, Mike Bliss is ready to return to the "Fastest Half-Mile" this weekend for the Food City 300. With 20 starts at Bristol Motor Speedway, Bliss has an average starting position of 20.4 and an average finishing position of 17.6. Bliss has two top-5s and four top-10 finishes at the speedway and has completed 5,130 laps.
