Bristol Motor Speedway

Sunday, May 23 we left the Charlotte Motor Speedway. It was very surprising how easy and uneventful it was to get out of the infield. We left about 8:00 and did not have to wait for one RV that was in the infield or any outside of the infield. We wonder if everyone was staying for the entire week and attend the race this coming weekend. We drove 180 miles northwest to Bristol, Tennessee. Most of the drive was four lane highway but there were SEVERAL miles that were on a 2 lane, winding, curvy, hilly road that JB did not care for...probably because he had to hold the steering wheel with BOTH hands! Hey, we found diesel for $2.89, cheapest of the trip. And we missed a little turtle meandering across the highway.

We got to the Lakeview RV resort, which was a half price campground and only 3 miles from the Bristol Motor Speedway. Pictures to follow: Very much like Martinsville. I can't imagine 43 cars racing on this track.

Beautiful store open on Sunday. All of the winners.

I don't know what they are remodeling in the infield but it is so small, it can't hold much!

Land surrounding the track...maybe for camping...

It was great to see the track. Very nice country here. Today we moved on to the great Smokey Mountains!
