The Cup Series returns to the dirt at Bristol Motor Speedway and will race on Easter for the first time since 1989.
Through the season’s first eight races, there have been seven different winners. William Byron became the only multi-time winner this year with his victory last weekend at Martinsville Speedway.
This marks the third consecutive Cup race at a track less than 1 mile in length. Denny Hamlin won at Richmond before Byron’s Martinsville victory.
