Dirty dancing.
NASCAR’s preeminent division returned to the mire for this week’s race, setting up shop in Bristol, Tenn., for the Food City 500.
This year’s iteration of the competition spurned the usual complement of dirt that has swept over the Last Great Colosseum in years past. The famed short track returned to its typical asphalt disposition in 2024. Unsurprisingly, the change was met with a steady stream of lead changes on Sunday, as more than a dozen racers raced to the front over the course of the day.
Short tracks always prove an enticing surface. This year’s race at Bristol was no exception. Here’s what you need to know about the results of Sunday’s clash underneath the gleaming Volunteer State sunshine.

This section will be updated following the conclusion of Sunday’s race.
