BRISTOL, Tenn. (March 16, 2020) -  As NASCAR recently announced, the Food City 500 race weekend April 3 - 5 at Bristol Motor Speedway has been postponed and will be rescheduled for a later date.  

BMS officials will continue to work closely with NASCAR on a rescheduled race date, while maintaining contact with local and federal government and health officials for the latest information on the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

"What truly makes Bristol Motor Speedway special is not only the exciting racing, but the incredible family reunion feel that exists when all of our fans, guests, community members and businesses come together for a race weekend," said Jerry Caldwell, executive vice president and general manager of Bristol Motor Speedway. "That's why I support NASCAR's decision to postpone our NASCAR spring event to a later date. The health and safety of everyone who attends races at Bristol Motor Speedway is our top priority and this step has been taken so that everyone can follow the recommended guidelines as advised by government officials. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of those who have been affected by this pandemic. Once we have a confirmed rescheduled date, we will inform you as soon as possible. We thank you for your patience during this time and we look forward to having all of you here once again at the Last Great Colosseum."
