This race is on most peoples bucket list and now I have went twice, both on wins.  Bristol is challenging to get to, not many hotels nearby and very hilly.  So you need to be prepared for that. The highlight was that I was going to be riding in the pace car to start the race.  The race had been delayed off and on because of rain and eventually called and ran on Sunday. I was able to get entered into the Whole Hog Challenge that I had won the year before to make the finals at Homestead, but this year it was not to be the case, we finished second and third and no Miami Finals trip this year.
