Three Races In 12 Days Makes Every Minute Matter
.....................................................................................................
If you are traveling down Interstate 81 this week chances are you will hear Willie Nelson’s “On the Road Again” blaring from a race hauler’s radio.
Wednesday night’s event at Bristol Motor Speedway will mark the third race in 12 days for the series.
A southern tour of sorts for the series – traveling to Nashville, Darlington and ending in the hills of East Tenn. – over 1,397.8 miles on the road.
It is only the third time in series history that it has ever been done.
In 1998, the series did it twice in one season, producing five different winners.

Three Sprint Cup Regulars Going For The Triple At Bristol
........................................................................................................
Bristol is one of the most physically demanding tracks the series visits due to the high banks and fast speeds that make it a fan favorite.
Add in 950 laps of non-stop action over three nights and you have yourself a challenge at its best.
Kyle Busch (No. 18 NASCAR.com RaceView Toyota Tundra), Brad Keselowski (No.29 Ruby Tuesday – Miller Lite Dodge) and Elliott Sadler (No. 2 Kevin Harvick Inc. Chevrolet) are up for the challenge.
All three have victories at the ‘World’s Fastest Half-Mile.’
Busch has won on the .533-mile concrete oval in all three national series, but never in the same weekend – a feat no one has achieved.
Keselowski won the 2008 Nationwide series event after leading only 24 laps.
Sadler has one Nationwide series win to his resume, but his most popular win at Bristol came in 2001 when he captured his first career Sprint Cup Series victory at Bristol, only hours from his hometown of Emporia, Va.
