Saturday’s Battle at Bristol Motor Speedway between Virginia Tech and Tennessee has had a lot of champions along the way, but few were as important a figurehead as Frank Beamer. He retired as the Hokies head coach after last season, but he’ll be in attendance for Saturday’s game. We asked him about what it’s meant to see this project finally come to fruition.
Q. You’re in Bristol now. What have you thought of all the festivities going on for this game?
A. I think it's great any time you’re doing something unique and can catch the attention of the media.
