Looking to get away for a short vacation? A quick trip around the Internet reveals it is a traveler’s market – especially the hotels. That is, unless you are a stock car racing fan.

Let’s use the upcoming Bristol weekend as an example. It’s set for August 18-21 and will feature a great NASCAR Truck and Mod doubleheader at the Bristol Motor Speedway on Wednesday, a downtown festival and the hauler parade on Thursday, Nationwide action Friday, and the famed Bristol Night Race Cup battle Saturday evening.

That rocks, and now that the economy is a little ‘soft,’ Bristol isn’t sold out anymore. That means a lot of new people get the opportunity to experience all that Bristol has to offer.

A quick look at www.BristolMotorSpeedway.com reveals tickets can be had at the swipe of a credit card. No problem there. You’re going to the Bristol Night Race. Hell yeah.
