Tour Notes
Why We Love the Bristol Night Race
There’s truly nothing like Bristol Motor Speedway under the lights. Known as “Thunder Valley,” this half-mile coliseum delivers nonstop action, incredible sound, and a crowd unlike any other in NASCAR. Built in a mountain valley, the track’s steep banking and stadium-style seating create an atmosphere that has to be experienced to be believed.
Our Bristol NASCAR Ticket Package puts you right in the heart of it all for the Bass Pro Shops Night Race, one of the most popular and tradition-rich events on the NASCAR schedule. Short-track tempers, tight racing, and a playoff-charged crowd make this race a can’t-miss event every year.
Comfort, Convenience & Tennessee Hospitality
We stay at the Hilton Garden Inn in Pigeon Forge, located just 30 minutes from Knoxville McGhee Tyson Airport (TYS). Guests love the spacious rooms, convenient on-site restaurant, and proximity to all the great attractions in Pigeon Forge.
On race day, we travel by luxury RaceAway motorcoach to Bristol Motor Speedway. The ride is about 90 minutes, scenic and comfortable, with restrooms on board and plenty of room for snacks and beverages. It’s a relaxed, social trip that sets the tone for an unforgettable night at the track.
At Bristol, our motorcoaches park in the charter lot near Turn 4, and while the grounds are hilly, the walk to the Allison Terrace seats is manageable for most guests. Once you’re settled in, you’ll enjoy a panoramic view of the entire half-mile oval — from pit road to every corner — thanks to Bristol’s unique amphitheater-style design.
The Bristol Experience
With 26–30 degrees of banking and a capacity of more than 160,000 fans, Bristol Motor Speedway is NASCAR’s most intense short track. Cars circle the “World’s Fastest Half-Mile” in just 15 seconds, creating a constant roar of speed and excitement. Bring your ear protection — the sound is part of what makes Bristol legendary!
As the sun sets behind the Tennessee hills, the lights come on, the temp drops into the 60s, and the crowd comes alive. This night race has long been one of the toughest tickets in NASCAR — and one of the most thrilling events anywhere in sports.

More About Bristol NASCAR Racing
Bristol Motor Speedway hosts two NASCAR Cup Series weekends each year — the famous Bass Pro Shops Night Race in September and the Food City 500 in April. Both showcase the raw, unpredictable nature of short-track racing, where drivers can recover from laps down to take the win.
Bristol holds the attendance record for the NASCAR Xfinity Series, and its Cup races regularly sell out — proof of just how special this half-mile bullring truly is.
Hard to believe it started as a dairy farm in the Tennessee hills — today, it’s the loudest, fastest, and most electrifying half-mile in motorsports.

My husband and I were guest for your Bristol NASCAR package, it was my first NASCAR race. I was impressed by the hotel and everything the hosts provided. It was the first time we had gone away without our kids, and because of the wonderful package y’all provide, we had the time of our lives. We’ve decided to treat ourselves to a race a year and we’ll definitely be booking race weekends with you. Thanks to you and your hosts for a wonderful weekend we will never forget!
