"We're fortunate to have the great support of Food City, not only during our race weekends but also throughout the year," said Jerry Caldwell, executive vice president and general manager for Bristol Motor Speedway. "Last year's Food City in-store ticket offer far exceeded our expectations and we're thrilled they are launching this year's program before the holidays and adding additional benefits."  

All tickets will feature blind-reserved seats selected by knowledgeable members of the BMS ticket office. Tickets will be sold at the front office of each Food City location. The tickets will then be emailed a few days following the purchase. The final day to purchase race tickets in-store will be Tuesday, April 10 for the Food City 500 and Tuesday, Aug. 14 for America's Night Race week.
