Bristol Motor Speedway offers a brand of racing very few tracks can emulate.

The Sprint Cup Series returns to action after its first off week of the season, and it’s time to go short-track racing.

After reaching speeds of up to 200 mph at Daytona, Fontana, Las Vegas and Atlanta—drivers will use less gas and more brake for three consecutive races beginning Sunday at Bristol.
