Bristol Over The Glen Any Time!

This is the Statt Mann Baby. Time to Scatt a little bit.

I had questions this week when I saw a Top Ten survey that put Watkins Glen on top for NASCAR racing. Watkins Glen is a road course and NASCAR makes its bones on oval racing tracks.

I thought it was curious that NASCAR’s race this weekend was at The Glen. Funny how that works. But I digress…

The real Best Track in NASCAR racing is at Bristol Motor Speedway, especially the night race at Bristol coming up August 18th. Bristol was fourth in this Top Ten list. What do they know?

But there’s absolutely no comparison and I’m a road racing fan over oval racing. There’s so much happening at the Bristol night race. The 36 degree banking allows for some great speeds on a halfmile track.

There used to be more than 150 thousand fans in the stands; so many you could feel the breeze when they cheered. And putting all that under the lights just added something special to the entire proceedings.

The Glen is just another race unless you get off on watching the drivers do something they don’t like like turning right instead of left all afternoon.

Peace.
