Some people have a passion for various tracks, and if you ask many NASCAR fans,  Bristol, Tennessee would rank up in the top. One reason is the size of this track. It can accommodate up to 165,000 fans!  Yes,165,000 staggering, beer drinking, yelling,fist pumping fans! One of the unique characteristics of Bristol is that the lengths of the track are short, which means somewhat slower speeds but contact is almost inevitable!
