The Food City 500 annually
plays host to some of the most exciting NASCAR action of
the season. Held at the Bristol Motor Speedway, the
course's oval has been home to some incredible finishes
and heartbreaking wrecks. |

that has to bee seen live as the drivers
of NASCAR fly around the 0.533 mile oval
track at incredible speeds. In 2003 Ryan
Newman completed a lap in less than 15
seconds, and today's drivers are faster
than ever. Don't miss one of the most
exciting races of the year,
bet the Food
City 500.
Track information
Bristol Motor Speedway, one of the shortest tracks on
the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup circuit, has the
highest banking, making for an appealing
combination for driver and spectator
alike. Added to the schedule in 1961 and
resurfaced from asphalt to concrete in
1992, Bristol's attendance has increased
from 18,000 to well over 160,000 with
the reconstruction of the speedway's
backstretch.
Bristol Motor Speedway also plays host
to the
Sharpie 500
later in the year in August.

| 2009 Food
City Winner In
2009, Kyle Busch dominated the race, leading the most laps,
on his way to a second consecutive win. Winning by a .391
second difference in an extended race that took 503 laps to
complete, Kyle had to out-race Joe Gibbs Racing teammate
Denny Hamlin to a green-white-checkered flag to take his
14th Cup Series win. |

2008 Food
City Winner
Jeff Burton drove hard and smart all day in the 2008 NASCAR
Sprint Cup Food City 500 from Bristol Motor Speedway and was
in the right place at the right time in the end.
Burton was the recipient of Joe Gibb’s racing driver Denny
Hamlin’s bad luck on the final lap of Sunday’s race. Burton
zoomed past Hamlin on the outside when it appeared Hamlin
had problems getting fuel to the pickup on the high banked
bullring.
The win is Burton’s first of 2008 and is also the first win
for a Chevrolet this season. |

2007 Food City
Winner
| The 2007
Food City 500 ended with a bang as Kyle Busch crossed
the finish line first to cap off his best race of the
young season. Jeff Burton and Jeff Gordon once again
finished strong taking second and third respectively, as
Kevin Harvick and Greg Biffle finished off the top five.
If the 2007 Food City 500 is any indication of what the
rest of the 2007 NASCAR season has to offer, this may be
NASCAR's best season yet.
