Bristol Motor Speedway President and General Manager Jeff Byrd announced today the facility's 55th consecutive sell out of a NASCAR Sprint Cup race.
"A lot of effort by our staff here at BMS went into making this happen," said Byrd. "But the biggest tip of the hat goes to the fans. Those members of the extended Bristol Motor Speedway family, who continue, even in tougher times, to come back for the Bristol Experience are the ones who put us in this position.
"We commit ourselves every race to enhance the Bristol Experience for our loyal fans and the fans responded again."
The streak began Aug. 28, 1982 when Darrell Waltrip edged Bobby Allison by less than a second in front of an estimated 30,000 fans. Since then, the facility's seating capacity has increased more than five-fold.
Fans may place their orders now for 2010 season ticket packages by calling (423) BRISTOL (274-7865).
