Food City 500: What to know about NASCAR Cup Series' spring Bristol race as it returns on concrete

For the first time in three years, the NASCAR Cup Series spring Bristol race in Tennessee will take place on concrete as the 2024 season comes to an even shorter track than what Phoenix Raceway was this past weekend.

The Bristol spring race was on dirt for the last three seasons. Christopher Bell, Kyle Busch and Joey Logano were the winners of the dirt surface. In 2020, the last time it was run on concrete, Brad Keselowski took home the victory. Busch won twice before that.

As the 2024 season has shown early, anything can happen in these races. There has yet to be a multiple-time winner this season. Last Sunday, Bell held off Chris Buescher and Ty Gibbs in the Shriners Children’s 500 in Phoenix for his first win of the regular season.

Kyle Larson, Daniel Suárez and William Byron are the other drivers who have victories this year.

Bristol Motor Speedway is an entirely different beast, as most drivers understand. The length of the track is just over a half-mile long and there have been many retaliation crashes and heated tempers in the past. On Sunday, there will be plenty of hard racing and interesting strategy during the Food City 500.
