PARKING AT BRISTOL

NEVER BEEN TO BRISTOL AND WAS WONDERING WHERE THE BEST PLACE TO PARK AND TAILGATE AT THE SPEEDWAY IS.
I SAW ON THE WEBSITE THAT MOST OF THE PARKING IS PERMIT ONLY.DO NOT WANT TO WALK TO FAR AFTER TAILGATING ALL DAY.
ANY INPUT WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED.

matt - They showed him during intros. He had several guys standing with him in matching t-shirts. I guess that was the "pit crew". Sad, really... he's a pretty good driver and a nice guy.

Yes, he is a great guy and a good driver, but I don't think he has any control over how long to run a race....I know he would love to try and do all the races, but it is just not in the cards for his team.
Hopefully with all this, they can afford to run strong in 2010

Agreed. Its not his call - its another phil parsons s&p team. I don't think there's any hope for that team in 2010, but maybe a guy that can qualify in the top 5 can atract a better ride. I think hes easily a better driver than 10 or 12 guys in cup.

Ya, I hear ya on that one, but all the cup rides are taken by all the current drivers, they just swap teams and that is it, unless you are fortunate to be #20 driver, as he just was there at the right time.........it all comes down to $$. If RG had the money and the testing that all the 4 car teams do, he would be right there.
