Brought our son to Bristol Motor Speedway for a reservation I had booked for him to go on a Nascar Race Car ride along with a professional driver. Everything from beginning to end was a wonderful experience. His driver Kyle Barnes was amazing! Immediately walked up to us and greeted us, explained everything to us, and answered all our questions. He's very down to earth and has a great sense of humor, made us feel taken care of and we felt safe that our son was in good hands while driving fast on the track. My son came out of the car after his ride and said this was the best thing he's ever done in his 16 years of life. His adrenaline was so much his heart rate after his ride...was 147..lol...said he'd do it all over again. Thank you Kyle Barnes ..for making this experience what it was !!

Came here for the Speedway of Lights and had a great time! It was an amazing experience to be driving on the speedway! Food and drinks at the Christmas village were delicious and reasonably priced. Oreo churros were delicious. We did bumper cars and the guy who operated it was super nice and really cared about safety. He also always helps people out when they're stuck.

First and last time. was really looking forward to Bristol. Everything Nascar was 10/10! It was the facility that was awful. The staff must come from a Craigslist pool. No one knew anything. We walked around the track 3 times. Took trams to stops that weren't what we were told 5x. Torally missed out on the $200 we paid for the "track walk" due to team workers telling us the wrong info. The emails from the facility said walk the concourse all the way around but it was gated off and we couldn't get anywhere. Tower C elevator at gate 4 was out of service and we were put on the wrong tram. Came all the way back and took another tram up the hill. Enrered at D and couldn't walk around. By the time we found the gate, no one in our group (ages 4 to 67) wanted to walk any longer. it was 4:25pm by then and it ended at 5. We started at 2pm trying to get there. Once we got to our seats we were aggravated, hot and exhausted. Maybe the staff should be better informed about the facility they are at. Awful experienc. Can't wait for Martinsville.

Great racetrack, modern, a Nascar gem for sure. Lives up to its nickname, The Last Great Colliseum! But this weekend, The Outlaws take over. Just a beautiful facility and Racetrack. Everything top notch.

Lights were really good, crowded, long wait but traffic moved fast once we went to one line. I remember a few years ago many more lights. The best part was driving on the track! The high banks of Bristol are amazing. Hard to believe drivers drive at least 500 laps around this thing. The vendors set up with everything from kettle corn, hot chocolate, marshmallows and anything you could want to drink. Carousel was great my granddaughter loved it even if it's cold outside. The smell of wood burning is great.

Sign near entrance.  A lot of first photos taken here.

What a great facility. I parked across the street in private parking lot for $20. As I walked up the security was easy to get through. The gate was also a pleasant experience. There was plenty of bathrooms in the stadium. Food was easily available. I was attending the spring Nascar race. My seats were good and plenty of security available. Not sure the stadium could have provided a better day. Well maybe Kevin Harvick could of had a better day.

O what an awesome life we get to live! And the Sharpie 500 is one of the biggest parties you will never get to see, because this year was the final year Sharpie is sponsoring. Next year, it will be the Irwin Night Race, and it should be just as awesome. Picture this: 43 cars, 850 horses in each, going around a 1/2 mile concrete track at 45mph when the green flag is waved. It is an instant wall of roaring energy and you had better have some earplugs! It is louder than the loudest concert you have ever experienced. I have watched the race from the top row, from the middle and this year, from 8 rows up from the edge in turn 4. I have also watched from the Sharpie suite, way up high. The track is so small, there is not a bad seat in the house and everyone has a great view. Kyle Busch won this year, to the consternation of the Earnhardt Nation. The ever-classy Mark Martin was second, and it was great to see the bumping and banging, and the give and go that happened at the end. A great race to end the 9 years of Sharpie sponsorship.

My family went to Bristol Motor Speedway In Lights on 11/29/2020 we haven't been in 7 years and it was a blast to see the lights. I highly recommend that if u have not been to please go and see over 2 million lights. it is well worth the money.

Tried to photographically artistic during the August 2015 Truck Series race.

I have been attending races at BMS for several years. It is a great facility for motorsports. "There is not a bad seat in the house!" -- How true. Over the aforementioned years of attendance my family and I have switched switched several times and have never really had an issue with the sight lines. You'll have your occasional jackass or two that think they are deserving of more than the seat they paid for, but it is what it is. One great thing that has changed over the years is the "No Smoking in the grandstands" law. Fantastic for we non-smokers; but would be even better if they would enforce it 100%. It has been brought up to them before - only to be replied with multiple excuses. It has gotten better over the last year as more and more smokers just accept it and take a hike to the Smoking Zones or just wait. There's a novel idea. The concession prices are HIGH. But, it's professional sports. You'll have that. One of the best things about professional motorsports is the ability to bring in your own food and drink to the venue. There are still a lot of people who don't know this or simply just don't care to pack a cooler to save a buck, then bitch about the cost of concessions. Be prepared to walk when visiting BMS. They do have a lot of transportation - but the closer it gets to Cup raceday the longer you will wait for a ride. It can be quite difficult for older folks to maneuver the grounds due to the mountainous region.. And it pisses my Parents (older folks) off when they are struggling up the aforementioned mountainous terrain only to be passed by golf carts full of youngins'!! I can not review the traffic flow because we camp across the Red Bridge. I'm only a mere three hour drive away - so it would be nice if they have more racing events like they did in the past - but I understand it is expensive to operate a venue of that size when you don't have the attendance of a Cup race.

This was so much fun for our family!!! The photos at the entrance were fun and the face paint…read morebefore the show was great for our kids. (However we did not buy a photo bc they wanted $41 and $27for additional photos) (Also the face paint was $65 for 2 kids... they also got a flag, sword, hat/headscarf, and eye patch. I would never have paid this much but they were already finished by the time I paid and realized) The show was absolute great and involved the crowd. Our boys absolutely loved it and were engaged the entire show. The seals were amazing! The food was excellent!! The soup was so tasty and they sale it in the gift shop , chicken was tender and juicy, ham was so good, corn on the cob, Mac n cheese, and the cheddar biscuit was delicious! The drinks were flowing and wonderful. We would go back again and again.

Really cool and unique experience on Pigeon Forge Island…read more First and foremost, the set is phenomenal with a giant pool, two ships, and a dazzling array of excitement, entertainment, and a center stage. The acrobatics, dancing, and swashbuckling was captivating and impressive and well exceeded our expectations. We especially enjoyed the birds and dancing sea lion. Service was great and the staff did a great job of taking care of you while you enjoyed the entertainment. The food was well-portioned, but a bit dry and lacking in flavor. You got fried chicken, a slide of ham, soup, corn, and macaroni and cheese. Overall, expect to pay for an entertaining show and get a meal that the kids will enjoy.
