Rules & Regulations

In an effort to enhance fan comfort during the races, Bristol Motor Speedway will continue its carry-in bag policy for the March and August events in 2008. In addition to permitting one 14-inch cooler, fans now may bring one carry-in bag only. That item also may not exceed the 14-inch size limit. All carry-in items will be searched prior to entry into Speedway grandstands. It is recommended that fans make their way into the gates at least one hour prior to green flag to allow proper time for inspection of these items.

To ensure that all fans have a safe and enjoyable visit to Bristol Motor Speedway and Bristol Dragway, the following items will not be permitted inside the gates:

  • Folding Stadium Seats... Please note that STADIUM CUSHIONS ARE PERMITTED
  • Umbrellas
  • Illegal Drugs
  • ATV-type vehicles or Golf carts
  • Fires, Grills, or Fireworks
  • Weapons of any kind
  • Folding Chairs
  • Coolers over 14 inches
  • More than one carry-in bag (bag cannot exceed size of cooler)
  • Glass Containers
  • Pets (except service animals assisting the disabled)
  • Scaffolds or Platforms
  • Bicycles
  • Beer Balls
  • Noise-Makers, Horns, Helium Balloons and Beach Balls
  • Other items that may pose a safety hazard or diminish the enjoyment of an event by other patrons

Please note that the following activities are not permitted on Speedway or Dragway grounds:

  • Solicitation for Donations
  • Selling or Buying Tickets
  • Unapproved Selling of Merchandise or Services
  • Unapproved Distribution of any item
  • Unapproved Entertaining
  • In accordance with a new Tennessee state law, all grandstand, terrace, suite, and restroom areas at Bristol Motor Speedway and Dragway will be non-smoking effective October 1, 2007. The General Assembly of the State of Tennessee passed the "Non-Smoker Protection Act" in May and Governor Phil Bredesen signed it into law in June. The Act prohibits smoking in most public facilities, including "sports arenas." Guests may still smoke in our concourse area, but grandstand, terrace and suite seating areas will be non-smoking.
