[/IMG]Up Next: Back-To-Back Short Tracks: Bristol Motor Speedway and Martinsville Speedway
Following a rare off weekend, the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series hits stride with back-to-back short track events.
The series makes it’s 97th appearance at the .533-mile Bristol Motor Speedway for the Food City 500 March 22, followed by the Goody’s Fast Pain Relief 500 at the .526-mile Martinsville (Va.) Speedway March 29.
Bristol looms large in setting the tenor for the first half of the season. The Food City 500 is the fifth race of 2009, and the last where the top-35 owner points of 2008 are assured of starting positions this year. After the Food City 500, the top 35 in current owner points are eligible for making it into events moving forward as long as they remain in the top 35.

I don't get 2 Watch NASCAR that often, and always try to
listen to it on MRN Radio. They do a super job @ calling the race,
and I think better the the TV guys.
Peace/Out
