Bulls Gap 2016 Schedule
Bulls Gap 2016 schedule of racing events from Volunteer Speedway have been released. As of now the dirt racing season begins April 2nd.
In Bulls Gap, TN you’ll find this ultra high banked 4/10-mile dirt track. The high banked oval offers 12-second laps at a 120 mph average speed lap, says track officials.
Volunteer Speedway is a dirt track located near Bristol Motor Speedway, a famed NASCAR short track. On both Bristol NASCAR race weekends fans can make the close to hour drive into the Tennessee mountains to find this gem of a race track.
The Bulls Gap grandstands are packed during the Bristol race weekends. When you put that many short track fans in a tiny town, the Tennessee dirt tracks are bound to boom with attendance. Beyond fans, usually a NASCAR star or 2 will show up in helicopters to do some dirt racing.
I’ve visited this track myself, during the Bristol Night race. It’s a fantastic race track. I highly recommend you circle a date or two from the Bulls Gap 2016 Schedule below if you haven’t seen the track in person.
Bristol weekend, April 16th hosts a $4,000 to win Super Late Model show. The Bristol Night race is lined with the August 18th dirt show. Ultimate Super Late Model Series 12th Annual “Scorcher” which pays $12,000-to-win.
The Volunteer Speedway schedule below is only a tentative schedule for now.
