WATCH: NASCAR HAULERS PARKING AT BRISTOL
We’re yet to find a better way to spend 45 minutes than watching the NASCAR big rigs roll into Bristol

The NASCAR roadshow arrived in Tennessee last weekend for the Bass Pro Shops Night Race at Bristol. It’s the second shortest circuit on the NASCAR roster, and that means a tight squeeze for over 40 NASCAR Cup Series haulers at ‘The Last Great Colosseum.’
As preparations began for the Cup Series race under lights on Saturday night, Bristol Motor Speedway live-streamed the NASCAR haulers parking in the infield, as they have for the past couple of years. And yes, we’re mesmerized by it every single time.
This footage offers a glimpse into the precision of every NASCAR show, with haulers from the Cup, Xfinity and Truck series flowing in and out of the venue to allow all three series to practice, qualify and race over the course of a weekend. And it’s always an intricate process to get the gear on track in time for every session.
At Bristol, the haulers arrive through a gate at the entry of turn three and drive the wrong way around the circuit to enter the infield at two separate entrances depending on which side of the track they’re allocated. The team haulers are grouped together, rather than sitting directly outside their pit bay for the evening.
