145,000.
145,000 fans returned to Bristol Motor Speedway Saturday to see a great race at a great track.
A tweak here and a tuck there this past summer and elements of the old Bristol emerged, much to the delight of the crowd.
22 lead changes, 13 caution flags, and 1 helmet throw - and a few choice driver words along the way.
Congratulations to Denny Hamlin in the No. 11 car for winning an exciting race - and congratulations to the folks at Speedway Motorsports Inc. too for their vision and actions in maintaining BMS as the fans favorite NASCAR track.
