2026 Bristol Night Race

The World's Fastest Half-Mile. Under the lights.

Bristol Motor Speedway is 0.533 miles of concrete with 36-degree banking and seats for more than 150,000 people. The short length and steep banking mean speeds stay high and traffic means constant side-by-side racing. The night race is the version that sells out first every year.

As a Round of 16 elimination event in the NASCAR Playoffs, the Bristol Night Race carries championship stakes. Four drivers are eliminated here. The racing tends to reflect that.

Four distance tiers. Choose what works for you.

Bristol is in northeastern Tennessee, in a valley surrounded by mountains. Hotel options span four tiers based on distance and price: Bristol, VA (12 miles, closest), Johnson City, TN (15 miles), Sevierville, TN (90 miles, Smoky Mountain corridor), and Wytheville, VA (65 miles).

All tiers include motorcoach transfers to the track. The Bristol and Johnson City options prioritize proximity. Sevierville opens access to Gatlinburg and the Smokies if you want to extend the trip.
