Bristol Motor Speedway
151 Speedway Blvd, Bristol, TN 37620· $$· Tours 10am–4pm (Mon–Sat), race days vary
Steve’s take
They call it 'The Last Great Colosseum' and it seats 146,000 people, which means on race day the population of Bristol temporarily exceeds several states. Even without a race, the track tours are impressive — you stand on the banking and realize this track is steeper than most ski slopes. Bristol straddles the Tennessee-Virginia line right off I-81. If there happens to be a race during your drive-through, buy tickets and thank me later. The night race in August is legendary.
