== Background == [[File:Bristol_Motor_Speedway_map.png|thumb|The layout of Bristol Motor Speedway, the venue where the race was held.]] Bristol Motor Speedway, formerly known as '''Bristol International Raceway''' and '''Bristol Raceway''', is a NASCAR short track venue located in Bristol, Tennessee. Constructed in 1960, it held its first NASCAR race on July 30, 1961. Bristol is among the most popular tracks on the NASCAR schedule because of its distinct features, which include extraordinarily steep banking, an all-concrete surface, two pit roads, and stadium-like seating. It has also been named one of the loudest NASCAR tracks. The track is billed as the "World's Fastest Half-Mile"
