To help race fans enjoy next weekend’s Bass Pro Shops Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway, whether they are enjoying the race at the track or watching from the comfort of their homes, track officials are making the 80-page commemorative souvenir program available for free in both printed and digital formats.
The souvenir program has been reformatted in a Broadway Play “Playbill” style size that is more convenient for fans to carry the program with them while they are at the track. A limited number of printed programs will be available to guests at a variety of locations on property during the event, including at BMS Guest Services locations, BMS souvenir stands, BMS operated camp grounds and BMS ticket booths, while supplies last.

The program features a special cover tribute design to the 20th anniversary of the phrase "It's Bristol, baby!", said by Dale Earnhardt Jr. in BMS Victory Lane after winning the 2004 Night Race. The cover story by veteran NASCAR reporter Mike Hembree recalls that night and also gives a preview to Earnhardt Jr.'s appearance in this year's Food City 300 NASCAR Xfinity Series race. There is also a feature story on Martin Truex Jr., who announced this year would be his last in a full-time Cup Series capacity. There is also a feature story about Chase Elliott and another about Denny Hamlin, as he pursues three Bristol victories in a row. The program also includes the weekend schedule, a Speed Reading section with lots of track news and information, driver rosters and hero pages for the Cup, Xfinity, Craftsman Truck and ARCA Series teams, a story previewing each race of the weekend, track history, track stats and a track map.
To access the free digital version, please visit the Bristol Motor Speedway website or be on the lookout for email messages from Speedway team members as well as invitations to download the program on any one of the BMS social media channels.
The 2024 commemorative Bass Pro Shops Night Race souvenir program was designed by Learfield-IMG College Publishing in Lexington, Ky.
