The Last Time We Were in Bristol

Now, here's a track we haven't seen in a while.
NASCAR makes two visits a year to Bristol Motor Speedway, which is sometimes called the Bull Ring because it's small enough (0.53 miles) to be completely surrounded by seats. Our last visit here was all the way back in March -- perhaps because racing here is so stressful that it takes the drivers five months to recover.
The People's Pitstop has fond memories of the March race at Bristol, the fourth race of the season. That's because Kyle Busch took the checkered flag to complete a weekend sweep on this track. His victory got us 100 points all by himself. In all, the Internet's favorite fantasy NASCAR team scored 329 points. Suffice it to say that we would not mind a repeat performance this weekend.
And speaking of this weekend, it's coming quickly. This week's race is Saturday night, and the qualifying session is scheduled for Friday, so we have to get our lineup in Thursday night. You have a couple of hours left to vote in the lineup polls, and we'll take all the help we can get. We also have a couple of fantasy football draft questions up. Those will stay up through Saturday night.
Thanks for voting. We'll be back with the results. In the meantime, stay safe.
