The National Rifle Association will continue its co-sponsorship of the annual night NASCAR Cup Series summer race at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Bass Pro Shops and the NRA have co-sponsored the race the last couple years with the race being called the Bass Pro Shops NRA Night Race.
"This has been a good long-standing partnership and we plan to continue," Bristol Motor Speedway said in a statement Thursday.
Richard Childress, a NASCAR Cup team owner and now first vice president of the NRA, said when the sponsorship was announced in November 2015 that it was designed to attract hunters to the group.
