The 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season heads to Bristol, Tennessee, for the Food City 500 this weekend after a thrilling race at the Shriners Children's 500.
The Food City 500 is the fifth NASCAR Cup Series race of the season and will be held on Sunday (Mar. 17) at Bristol Motor Speedway. The 266.5-mile race kicks off at 3:30 pm ET and will be broadcast on FOX and PRN.
The event will be contested over 500 laps on the 0.533-mile short track. Sunday's event marks the 64th annual Food City 500 hosted by Bristol Motor Speedway.
Thirty-six drivers will take the green flag, and two have changed on this weekend’s docket: #15 Rick Ware Racing’s Kaz Grala and #16 Kaulig Racing’s AJ Allmendinger. This will be Allmendinger’s second race of the season, after finishing sixth in the season-opening Daytona 500.
Joe Gibbs Racing driver Christopher Bell won last year’s Food City 500 (previously known as the Food City Dirt Race) in two hours, 40 minutes and 40 seconds. Bell secured a win last week at Phoenix.
