Bristol Dragway
Bristol Dragway opened in 1965 under NHRA sanction. In 1967, NHRA left Bristol. In 1996, Bruton Smith bought Bristol Dragway. After the 1997 season, Bristol Dragway closed and work began on an $18 million facility. The facility reopened for the 1999 season and hosted the inaugural NHRA All-Star event that year and again in 2000. In 2001, Bristol Dragway hosted the Thunder Valley Nationals, the first NHRA national event held at Bristol Dragway since 1967.
