First up, the NASCAR Cup and Craftsman Truck series will come close to the beautiful Smoky Mountains at Bristol Motor Speedway. Thunder Valley returns to its classic concrete surface for the spring race after a three-year experience on dirt.

BMS is celebrating the theme of going back to the future, which included returning the walls to its throwback red-and-white striped pattern. Multiple people that the track will welcome also represent a blast to the past as well.

Pre-Race Concert: The Breakfast Club will rev the crowd up prior to the Food City 500, featuring throwback music from the 1980s.
