It may be the smallest track in length, but that is about the only thing small about Bristol Motor Speedway. “In 1984, I was a Sprint Cup crew chief for driver Joe Ruttman. We raced there when there was just very minimal grandstands on the front and the back and it was all grass -- it was incredible," sais Kenny Wallace. "It was a race track back then.  Now it's a coliseum.  Never in a million years could we have thought that when Bruton Smith bought it that he would do what he's done with it. If you were to look at pictures of Bristol when I was there in '84, you wouldn't even recognize it. They've done so much with it and it's a very unique race track.  I love that place.” And a lot of the drivers and fans agree with Wallace.
