“It has such a special place in motorsports and in this city,” Jerry Caldwell, the president of Bristol Motor Speedway in East Tennesseee, said of the Fairgrounds track. He thinks it would be the “best stop on our schedule, hands down,” and he won the 2022 Cup race at the Nashville Superspeedway. Smith’s company renovated North Wilkesboro Speedway, which hosted the NASCAR All-Star race in May after its last Cup race in 1996. The plan must be approved by the Nashville City Council. Waltrip would love to see NASCAR race at the Fairgrounds one night and the superspeedway the next.
