Dont waste your money ... Speedway of disappointment in more like it ... 90% of the 2 million lights are in the arch ways you drive under. So few actual Christmas light displays ... I remember going and everywhere you looked you could see lights ... this year ... most of the ride around was spend in the dark ... There was nothing to make you say WOW ...You cant blame COVID-19 for a bad display. The Christmas Village is 98% food and like 2 shops ... Now ... if you do go ... I recommend the walking tacos and loaded fries ... Not much to see... but plenty of goods to eat ... but if you dont want to pay an average of $2.00 extra every time you swipe your card ... bring cash ... The Silly Willy Caricatures is great family fun ... better then the lights ... in fact ... if you can skip the lights all together and just go for the food ... you save $25.00 ...

Great place to go with friends and family. It would be nice to have a new display or additional feature to the old. I understand that the money goes to kids but the price has gotten so outrageous especially during covid loss of jobs people cant afford it.. still had a good time though

A few years ago the place was covered in lights and there were hardly any empty space that you would drive by and we loved it. However, the past few years there have been less and less lights when we go. This year even less than before. We didnt feel it was worth the $25. My 3 year old loved it but my teen and husband and I thought it rather disappointing.

Thats why they call it Bristol Baby!One of Americas great sporting venues. A must see for racing rats of all breeds. Let Freedom Ring! A moving experience at this challenging time in our country. Make it a priority to go with family and friends.

Speedway in Lights. Believe the signs that say a two hour wait then a one hour wait. They are spaced about right. Fill up with gas and enjoy the pretty lights when you get in. Many motion lights to see and nicely spaced out. Not all are Christmas but worth seeing. We have made our first trip of the 2020 season. My highlight is about 1/4 mile on the concrete oval high banks.

But I went for Speedway in lights but being in the middle of it and getting to drive on the track was incredible and when you stand on the infield you realize why they call the track the bull ring it is really really small really small, but it seats like a hundred and fifty thousand people so I cant imagine how incredible it must be to watch a race there!! I actually went for the speedway in lights event and it was nice but Im not sure it was worth the $25 fee for my dog and I to see the light

Crystal motor speedway was awesome. I was able to drive on the track for a charity event. I strongly recommend that if you have the money in the time to do it. It was an awesome experience. The only thing that I wish they would have had was The gift shop to be open. That would be an excellent way to make money for that race track. I will definitely do that fundraiser again.

Great place to visit. Friendly staff. Always willing to help. Reasonable prices. We were aloud a small cooler which is great when you have kids. The kids tickets were free for the event we attended which is always great!

Even though racing aint what it use to be, not even close, I still extremely enjoyed taking my two young boys to Bristol MS. A much needed diversion from Covid-19. I would have given it a ratting of five+ Stars, but having to leave my cooler outside the track dropped it one.

Poor customer service. Trying to get a refund but they’ve got a whole page of COVID stuff then at the bottom is the no refund policy you barely can even see if you’re looking for it. Rude staff over the phone. Waste of money and time.

The racing stands on its on, but the overall experience is what sets Bristol apart from all the other tracks that I have been to. Definitely a bucket list track for race fans.I have season tickets and have been going since 1995. Love it!!!

Review №25

We love going t the track for the night race. Love the new seat backs and drink holders. It was way overdue. Was just a little frustrated because we had t purchase clear bags t get thru the gates and were not allowed our normal backpacks. This would have been fine had we not seen other fans being allowed thru the gates with their non clear bags. And t top it off there were many yeti cups seen throughout the stands when in fact we were not allowed t bring ours in. Too many inconsistencies.

Been to quite a few tracks and this is far and away the best. Everything in plane sight and just tons of action. Friendly people all around and the fans rock too. Go by yourself, go with your friends, go with your kids, JUST GO. Does not disappoint.

We have attended several races and other events on the property at Bristol Motor Speedway. But, the event we attended recently really made me want to post this review. We were able to attend a graduation (of sorts) for our son in our car because of the help of the people at BMS. They helped administration for our local high schools hold a “Cross the Finish Line” ceremony where the seniors were driven around the track and presented with a certificate congratulating them on their achievements. This was amazing for them during the quarantine. We thank them so much for what they helped do!We also recommend anyone that is in the area during the holidays go to the Speedway In Lights event that they have annually. There are millions of lights in hundreds of displays throughout the property. They have a Christmas village in the infield of the racetrack and an ice skating rink outside the track. It is amazing!!

Awesome venue to watch racing. Good view of all of the track. The ColeseumTV was great to see replays, etc. However, the food fare was rather lacking.

Wa
Review №39

So normally 5 stars all the way but now we cannot carry a cooler in, really? You can put food and drinks in a clear plastic bag. Ok so no way to keep it cold or food fresh.Just another way to take advantage of people and force them to buy 5 dollar drinks.maybe you should check coolers for a fever .

Usually I dont give lengthy reviews but as a long time fan of racing at BMS, I want people to know the great job of easing the confinement that overly crowed races bring. Now with your seat purchase you not only receive a seat on a row but also a standing area in front of your seat in a row committed only for standing. We all know how race fans like to jump up and down cheering for Kyle Busch to wreck!I cant wait for other events to be held here other than racing.

Pretty amazing venue. I was surprised about its location, its off the beaten path. Law enforcement definitely has the exitimg down to expedite getting everyone out of there. Just make sure you are sitting on the back stretch or the sun and heat will kill you. Great place to watch a race.

Getting in and out of this speedway is horrible. I called the track about where their free parking was for the 2020 night race and was told it was a 10-minute walk. Nope try 25 minute walk. At least be honest.

My wife and I were driving past Bristol Motor Speedway one day and, she had never seen the track. So I pulled in and got into the stands like I owned the place. I have been a dozen times and know it was ok. We did have to speak to a representative of BMS. They were cool with it. Thanks BMS. THIS WAS SEVERAL YEARS AGO

The staff was awesome, and on top of any problem that arose. With everyone being so angry these days, there were several situations that needed to be diffused. Especially in the parking lot. NASCAR fans usually get along like family.

This used to be a 5 star event. Once they repaved it, the racing was not as exciting. However, they still put on a good show here. This is not your cookie cutter 1.5 mile track where the cars blast by every few minutes. You will need hearing protection! If you have an opportunity to attend a race at Bristol, you should make the effort to go. This place is awesome! Rubbin is racing! Its Bristol, baby!

Amazing track, not a bad seat in the house (though the higher the better!). Decent prices, great racing. Tons of parking. Only issue was not nearly enough people come out to the races anymore. Great for those who enjoy their space but could definitely use more fans. Loudest Track I’ve ever been to. Will be back again.

Had a complete blast. I was grateful to have attended that race. Unfortunately, SISSYCAR has received my last penny. Unless SISSYCAR returns back to the original form of racing, no stage race and allows a Virginia Confederate military battle flag back on every premise, I wont attend another race.

It was so much fun! They have so many different lights! I just love the Christmas village! There are little rides and plenty of food booths with a variety to suit all. I especially love the Russian Tea. Its tradition now to go through the lights and then get that tea! I will say that you really do want to arrive early especially on a Saturday night. It took 2+ hours to get from the highway to the the ticket booth. It was worth the wait though. It was even fun waiting, just watching people. One car had 3 kids singing Christmas carols. Also note that they have bathrooms to accommodate the wait period in the line. And Im glad driving through was slow so you could enjoy the lights and not feel rushed.
