Bristol dirt NASCAR races won’t return in 2024
Bristol Motor Speedway has announced that their two NASCAR race weekends in 2024 will be held on the concrete surface. Track president Jerry Caldwell expressed excitement about bringing back the Food City 500 on the high-banks of the ‘World’s Fastest Half Mile’ in the spring of 2024, with a vintage look and feel reminiscent of the early ’90s. The Bristol spring race has been held on dirt for the past three seasons, but the decision has been made to return to concrete for both the Craftsman Truck Series and the Cup Series. Caldwell believes that NASCAR has successfully embraced trying new things, while also bringing back some old traditions, and going back to concrete twice a year will showcase what the drivers can do. The exact dates for Bristol’s races in 2024 have not been announced yet, but the full schedule is expected to be released by NASCAR in the coming weeks.
