After three events, it would appear that NASCAR is done toying with the concept of a Cup Series dirt track race, at least for now
The NASCAR Cup Series’ experiment with racing on dirt has quietly come to an end after three events. Bristol Motor Speedway has announced that both of its 2024 races will be held on concrete, rather than a temporary dirt surface.
“We are thrilled to announce Bristol Motor Speedway will host the return of the Food City 500 on the concrete high-banks of the World’s Fastest Half Mile in the spring of 2024,” said Bristol Motor Speedway President and General Manager Jerry Caldwell. “We will revive a logo reminiscent of the first Food City 500s in the early ’90s and resurrect the track’s vintage trademark look and feel of the era.
