2015 Food City 500 Bristol Motor Speedway

For my birthday my brother took me to the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway. The race was actually on my birthday. As was the case with the race I went to at KY last year, lots of rain causing the beginning to be delayed and multiple red flags due to rain as well. It was a very exciting race and they DID get to finish after 511 laps.
We got to the track at 7am for some shopping and tailgating (which never happened due to rain). I got to explore the haulers and Chevy fan zone.my brother bought me a Dale Call, I bought a Chase Elliot 2014 Nationwide champ car, 2014 NCSC Harvick champ car (unfortunately they gave me the Budweiser when I asked for Jimmy Johns, hoping i can exchange that at Charlotte in a few weeks), I also picked up the program and event car, they were handing out some kind of Jeff Gordon Bristol memories thing as well. At the flea market venders I picked up a 1/7500 Dale Jr. mini helmet for myself. We had walked around a lot and collected as many free items as we could before the vendors all shut down around 1. I was able to get 2 chevy shirts, 7 auto trader Logano coozies, a event car from the 2nd Charlotte rasce last year (for my son to play with), a shirt from a car auction vendor, and 3 pins from past Bristol events. For my son I also picked up a Larson rookie car, a 2015 Chasde Elliot camaro, and some Harvick tshirts.
Matt Kenseth won the pole and after a LOOOONG day was able to win the race as well. (BOO Toyota).
