Tonight is my favorite NASCAR race of them all, the night race at Bristol Motor Speedway:
The track is just a half-mile, but the extreme banking in the corners (now 28 degrees after resurfacing) allows the cars to carry a huge amount of speed around the track. The G-forces holds the cars down. It's wild! Add to that tempers flare at the rough track and it's a mix for some great action.
The late Dale Earnhardt got into a few scrapes with Terry Labonte here over the years. In 1995 (skip to 5:00 mark):
and again in 1999 (skip to 1:40 mark):
Wow.
Even if you hate NASCAR, you may want to check tonight out, I think it will be worth it.
Have a good night.
