Once all on-track activities at Ford Fan Friday are completed on Friday, the party moves to the hospitality area at BMS. Some of NASCAR’s finest wheelmen will then participate in several on-stage activities, including a question and answer session, Wii Boxing and Family Feud.

Jimmie Johnson heads up the driver question and answer session, along with Matt Kenseth, Jamie McMurray and David Ragan. Going head to head in Wii Boxing is defending champion Elliott Sadler, along with Kyle Busch, Clint Bowyer, Brad Keselowski, Joey Logano, A.J. Allmendinger and Scott Speed.

Family Feud should be a highlight as drivers from Richard Childress Racing will take on the Stewart-Haas stable. Kevin Harvick and Jeff Burton, along with Delana Harvick, will battle Tony Stewart, Ryan Newman and Krissie Newman. Two fans will be chosen to play on each team, via an online auction benefitting the Bristol Chapter of Speedway Children’s Charities at www.bristolmotorspeedway.com.  FOX’s very own Matt Yocum will be the emcee for Feud.

Food City Race Night opens at 4 p.m. and is free to all fans. A number of drivers, including Harvick and NASCAR legends David Pearson, Harry Gant and Dave Marcis, will be on hand to sign autographs. Nationwide drivers participating include Steve Wallace, Trevor Bayne, Reed Sorenson, Justin Allgaier, Kelly Bires, Colin Braun and Eric McClure.
