Bristol, Sebring, and South Alabama Speedway Are All on Tap This Weekend for CV Products Trackside Program

CV Products —  March 14, 2014 | Category: Trackside Program | Comment

CV Products Trackside Program swings into high gear this weekend with a presence at five races at three different racetracks. Thunder Valley (a/k/a Bristol Motor Speedway) is where most of the attention will be, especially on Sunday. That’s when the Food City 500 will take NASCAR’s best drivers on 500-lap, 266.5-mile odyssey that never fails to produce exceptional results. Bristol’s steep banking, all-concrete surface, two pit roads and stadium-like seating give drivers and fans alike an experience that’s truly unique. Also on tap for us this weekend… the 62nd Annual Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring and the Hardee’s Rattler 250.

What you need to know: Brad Keselowski has emerged victorious two of the last five NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races at Bristol Motor Speedway (a/k/a Thunder Valley). Even if it doesn’t seem immediately apparent, a closer look at statistical history shows he’s an heir to this slice of success. It’s all about the No. 2 – plus a trio of top-rung drivers who through the years have combined to give Team Penske a total of 10 victories at the historic .533-mile oval. In other news, something – anything – has to go Kyle Busch’s way one of these weekends. The No. 18 has led two of the first three Cup Series races this season, eclipsed the 100 driver rating figure in all three, driven the fastest laps run in all three, and has one top-10 finish to show for it.

This promises to be a busy week on the auto racing circuit, what with three events at the Bristol Motor Speedway in Tennessee, another pair in Florida and a Pro All Stars Series (PASS) race in South Carolina on the agenda.

What’s especially exciting this week are the races scheduled at Bristol Motor Speedway, where the short, half-mile track is guaranteed to make for some spectacular spectator opportunities — lots of fender benders, hurt feelings, and drama galore. It’s better than the soaps on TV!

And if you find yourself in the pits or garages of any of these races, pay close attention to the gear the crews are attaching to these high-performance auto-racing machines. That’s right. Many of those CV parts and accessories that you rely on for your amateur race pursuits are standard on these racecars.

With that in mind, we hope you’ll stop by and visit our reps at one of these racetracks this weekend. Here’s where you’ll find us:

Ten fans will be awarded a new Ford Mustang this weekend before the start of the Food City 500.
