This race is near and dear to my heart. I used to have tickets to this race every year. Few tracks on the circuit have the appeal of the Bristol Night Race, and it's easily on of my top 5 favorite races to watch every single season. So much beating and banging, anger and rivalries, and just all around 500 laps of awesome racing.

I'm hoping this week's race is every bit as good as so many of the previous ones. And with so many feuds and rivalries this season, this track is a perfect one for those feuds and rivalries to heat up and boil over. Drivers circle this track as an opportunity to "repay" some debts, because you can beat up your car here and still do well...and it's also very easy to make contact appear incidental.

So saddle up, race fans, I think this race is going to have it all. The green flag is scheduled to drop Saturday night at 7:40pm EST.
