With a new event announced today, there will now be four weeks of dirt racing at Bristol Motor Speedway
In 2000 and 2001, Bristol Motor Speedway covered their concrete racing surface in dirt. 20 years later, they’re at it again.
Previously announced, the track will host the Bristol Dirt Nationals on March 15-20. That will be followed by the NASCAR Dirt Racing weekend, March 27-28.
As of today, more events have been added. Four total weeks of racing will now take place on the temporary dirt oval.
April 8-10:
World of Outlaws Late Model Series and DIRTcar UMP Modifieds.
April 22-24:
World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series and Super DIRTcar Series.
“We’re thrilled to again partner with Bristol Motor Speedway to provide four exciting nights of racing with the best Sprint Car, Late Model, Big Block Modified and UMP Modified drivers in the world,” DIRTcar and World of Outlaws CEO Brian Carter said.
Carter added, “The Bristol World of Outlaws events from the early 2000s have remained fan favorites to this day and we’re sure fans will once again be enthralled with what each series will have to offer around Thunder Valley in 2021.”
The World of Outlaws Sprint Cars visited the track in 2000 and again in 2001. Sammy Swindell won both races.
“It’s simply been too long since Bristol Motor Speedway has featured the World of Outlaws Sprint Cars,” said Jerry Caldwell, executive vice president and general manager of Bristol Motor Speedway.
Caldwell added, “It’s the perfect time for their return during our 60th anniversary celebration in 2021, and we can’t wait for the World of Outlaws Bristol Throwdown and the World of Outlaws Bristol Bash to hit the dirt high banks at Thunder Valley in April. Both weekends of racing are going to be thrilling and certainly something no true dirt racing fan is going to want to miss.”
