Bristol Motor Speedway is a track known for plenty of Saturday night beating and banging, and tonight will be no exception.

But it’s not cars that will be doing the beating and banging, it will be young men from the University of Tennessee and Virginia Tech. who will square of in a football game that’s being dubbed “The Battle at Bristol.”

And even though NASCAR is racing in Richmond tonight, you can bet interest in the big game is high among the racers.
