The cavernous speedway hosts major NASCAR races twice a year in addition to other races deep into the summer.  During the holiday season, you can even drive throughout the speedway complex for a one-of-a-kind light show with a spectacular finish on the famed oval (while hoping your car doesn't tip over on the banked track).

On September 10, 2010 the speedway stadium will make history.  Up to 165,000 college football fans will watch the University of Tennessee take on Virginia Tech in the Battle of Bristol.  Despite the proximity of the two schools to one another, they rarely meet on the gridiron which heightens the interest of this game.

Virginia Tech is located only 42 miles from Roanoke, Virginia, which has the highest consumption of Dr Pepper on the East coast.
