Bristol Motor Speedway
The Bristol Motor Speedway, formerly known as Bristol International Raceway and Bristol Raceway, is a NASCAR short track venue located in Bristol, Tennessee. Constructed in 1960, it held its first NASCAR race on July 30, 1961. Despite its short length, Bristol is among the most popular tracks on the NASCAR schedule because of its distinct features, which include extraordinarily steep banking, an all concrete surface, two pit roads, and stadium-like seating. It has also been named one of the loudest NASCAR tracks.

My track of Bristol Speedway is 1.28 miles long, that's the shortest I could make it, and still hold the track's design. Same track layout as original. It's too bad I couldn't design Bristol Speedway with a Colosseum layout like the picture above, would be a change of pace from racing on Daytona Speedway.
