Tennessee and Virginia Tech will play on a football field constructed in the infield of the half-mile track on Sept. 10, 2016. The game is expected to draw one of the largest crowds in college football history. Michigan and Notre Dame set the college football attendance record last year, drawing more than 115,000 fans for their game at Michigan Stadium. The Bristol track holds more than 150,000 fans.

And just incase anybody has some spare change laying around...

Kenseth puts home for sale:

#20-Matt Kenseth has listed his 7,259-square-foot Mooresville, North Carolina, mansion for $2,799,000, reports the Realtor. Built in 2006, the custom home sits on a three-quarter-acre lot and is located just 45 minutes away from the Charlotte Motor Speedway. It offers an 'Old World' elegance coupled with modern amenities. The two-story European-style mansion of the 2003 Sprint Cup champion includes five bedrooms, five full and three half bathrooms and a large living room, in addition to a gourmet kitchen. The kitchen boasts custom cabinetry and sophisticated appliances. The kitchen leads to a spacious and an open breakfast area. The lower level of the building features two master suites, a media room with a bar, and an exercise room. According to the property listing, the exteriors of this mansion-estate gives a more relaxed feeling and comes with a large swimming pool, a spa, a wood-burning fireplace, a private pier, and a second-floor terrace that offers an excellent view of Lake Norman.

Is he moving up?

I know Jeff Gordon “downsized” out of his 30 mil NYC place to a 10 mil and is now the downstairs neighbor to Chelsea Clinton-Mezvinsky.

Hey, wait a minute. I’m sitting in Portland’s airport trying to count my winnings from Vegas (and get home) and read that you want to commander Mrs. Happydogs BMW? Ho-boy, I wish you well since your demise will be extremely painful and slow. Now if you wanted my 335i I’d just shoot you and be done with it.

Scores this year are outrageous. I’m average over 300 points a race (a bell weather, normally to a 98%tile ranking) and I’m in stinking 11th place and am wondering, ala Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid, who are these guys and did they sell their soul? While I try to discern whether I’m a man or a mouse would you pass the Gouda please.

Now I have an answer for Ya.

Kenseth lines up standby drivers if needed: #20-Matt Kenseth’s wife, Katie, is due to give birth in about two weeks. It will be the couple’s third girl. After racing at Bristol this weekend, NASCAR will run at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif. Kenseth said that if has to leave the track, Sam Hornish Jr., would drive his Nationwide car, and Jeff Burton would be available to drive his Cup car. Hornish is set to drive seven Nationwide races that Kyle Busch won’t run for Joe Gibbs Racing. Burton is running select Cup races for fellow Toyota team Michael Waltrip Racing. Also, Paul Menard’s wife, Jennifer, was due to give birth to the couple’s first child earlier this week but had not as of Wednesday afternoon.(Motor Racing Network)

That it will! Also not looking good due to Rain

Newman's Rescue Ranch featured on "Tanked": Animal Planet's "Tanked" stars Wayde King and Brett Raymer head to Statesville, N.C., to help transform Richard Childress Racing driver Ryan Newman's and his wife Krissie's animal rescue facility, Rescue Ranch. In this episode, the dynamic duo brings to life a functional aquatic desk for the entrance of the ranch. For this pet-passionate couple, King and Raymer customize a multi-piece desk freshwater tank on site with handmade animal sculptures and coral alongside an array of exotic fish. To pinpoint the theme, the duo recreates a variety of animals that can be found at the center including a Bulldog, Golden Labrador, rabbits, turtles and snakes, as well as a life-like NASCAR helmet taking center stage that incorporates the sporty side of Newman.The Newman's great love for animals was the key reason Rescue Ranch, a non-profit animal welfare organization, was opened. Formed in January 2012, this one-of-a-kind facility strives to end pet overpopulation and associated suffering with protection and humane care. Tune in on Friday, March 14, at 10:00pm/et for the reveal of the NASCAR star's Rescue Ranch tank.(Discovery)(3-13-2014)

Side note: Our local Vetrainerian Office has Pets of NASCAR calenders every year for sale, proceds going to the Newman RR. Last year they were $20.00 and sold out the 1st week.

Bristol is unique among NASCAR ovals one mile or less in length . . . normally, inner liners are not run on short tracks, though teams will run them in their right-side tires only at Bristol . . . air pressure in those inner liners should be 12-25 psi greater than that of the outer tire.
