Bristol Motor Speedway Aerial View

Virtual Bird's Eye — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 17:04:55 +0000

Below is a look from an aerial view of the Speedway in Bristol Tennessee. The photos around this area are poor as of this posting, but the speedway can be seen quite clearly.

Bristol Motor Speedway could very easily have opened in 1961 under a different name. The first proposed site for the speedway was in Piney Flats but, according to Carl Moore, who built the track along with Larry Carrier and R.G. Pope, the idea met local opposition. So the track that could have been called Piney Flats International Speedway was built five miles down the road on Hwy. 11-E in Bristol. The land, upon which Bristol Motor Speedway is built, used to be a dairy farm.

There is a much better photo on Google Maps
