Poster Caption: This aerial panoramic photograph of Bristol Motor Speedway was taken by James Blakeway. Bristol Motor Speedway, located in Bristol, Tennessee, held its first race on July 30, 1961, with 22 degree banked turns and seating for 18,000 fans. On land that was originally a dairy farm, the speedway was constructed in 1960 and cost $600,000, which included the price of the 100 acres of land. Today, after many additions to the stands and reconstruction, the speedway holds 160,000 fans and its turns are banked at 36 degrees. The 0.533-mile concrete oval track is known as the "World's Fastest Half Mile".
