Bristol is one of the hottest tracks in NASCAR. I watched my first NASCAR race at Bristol Motor Speedway and it will always be a magical place.

Seating 160,000 theater style, Bristol Motor Speedway looks like a football stadium on steroids. While Bristol's track is only 0.533 miles around, don't let its size fool you. There's nothing  like 40+ cars circling like an angry hornets' nest.

As cool as a race at Bristol is, however, there's nothing like Talladega Superspeedway. Eric and I have our tickets and are planning to attend the Aaron's 499 race on April 25. Actually, we will be camping there all weekend.

Nicknamed "The Big One," Talladega Super Speedway is a whoppin' 2.66 miles around with the steepest banks of any track. With speeds exceeding 200+ MPH, Talladega is my favorite race. And I'll never forget the Carl Edward's flight last year. If you missed it, here's the wreck on YouTube:
