Staying in Bristol
Bristol, Tennessee, shares State Street with Bristol, Virginia — cross the line and you’re at the Birthplace of Country Music Museum and downtown’s music venues. The Tennessee side has Bristol Motor Speedway, Steele Creek Park and the hotels along Volunteer Parkway. Race weeks fill every room in the region months ahead, so book early or look farther out.
