I ate there last year at the spring Bristol race. Rained like heck outside that day so no cooking at the campsites. The place was extremely busy but the staff kept up with it.

Wish I was going this year, want to see the Sat. nite special old timers race.

Cale Yarborough, Junior Johnson, Harry Gant and ESPN analyst Rusty Wallace are among the 12 legends of NASCAR who will compete for 35 laps in late model stock cars. The winning driver will earn a $25,000 donation for the charity of his choice. The race airs following ESPN on ABC's live coverage of the NASCAR Nationwide Series Scotts Turf Builder 300 event at Bristol that day at 2 p.m.

Ned & Dale Jarrett in the booth with Dr. Jerry Punch. Rusty will be 'in race reporter'.


Virginia Tech football coach Frank Beamer, who also will serve as grand marshal of the Food City 500, will climb behind the wheel of a race car for the first time as will Terry Bowden. Bowden returns to the college coaching ranks this year after 10 years in the broadcast booth, taking over the Division II powerhouse University of North Alabama.

?? How is Terry Bowden going to see over the steering wheel ??

The celebrities will run 15-lap or 10-minute heats to help determine the starting spots of their pro driver teammates, who then will run 35 laps. That field includes Junior Johnson, Harry Gant, Cale Yarborough and Jack Ingram.

The winning "team" is guaranteed $25,000 for their charities and a total of $10,000 will go to the charity or charities of the second-place duo. Every other team will get $5,000 for their charities. Team pairings will be announced at a later time.


77 year old Junior Johnson is racing for the first time in 45 years. Looks like he will be in his son's car. Robert is about 18 yrs. old.

Cale Yarborough will (brush) them all to the wall and win

Is D.W.racing?

Darrell Waltrip, Bristol's all-time winner with 12, has had to pull out of the race because of a scheduling issue that has arisen.
"It seems crazy, but I am busier now than I was when I was a driver," Waltrip said. "I have some commitments to Fox Sports that have come up since we began talking with the folks at Bristol about this race. I was looking forward to getting out there with some of those guys again; and some of them for the first time. After years with Junior Johnson as my boss, I was excited about rubbing fenders with him. But, sometimes things are unavoidable."

The winning team receives $25,000 for its charities; $10,000 will go to the second-place team's charities. Each other team will get $5,000 for charities.
