Bristol Motor Speedway: A quick look at The Last Great Colosseum
The Bristol short track is a 0.533 mile concrete oval with 24 to 28 degree banking. Known as The Last Great Colosseum, it hosts major events and has evolved since construction began in 1960 with a 1-year build. The site cost about $600,000 and laid out over 100 acres. Jack Smith won NASCAR’s first race on July 30, 1961, and ownership shifted to O Bruton Smith in 1996 for $26 million. Today the venue offers suites, bar areas, Turn One Tavern, and The Apex nightclub inside the oval.
