Beaten-up cars, emotion-filled drivers, numerous cautions, close bumper-to-bumper racing. Sunday’s Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway lived up to what fans have come to expect when NASCAR rolls into the famed half-mile oval.
Carl Edwards led the field to the green flag for the 500 lap race, and was able to keep his nose out front for a majority of the event. Some drivers, including Kevin Harvick and Matt Kenseth, put up strong challenges to Edwards during the race, but the No.19 Comcast Toyota was as smooth as velvet.
