The Sharpie 500 is a NASCAR Sprint Cup stock car race held at Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, Tennessee. It is one of two NASCAR Nextel Cup races held at Bristol, the other being the Food City 500, but it is by far the more popular of the two. Since 1978, the race has been held in late-August on a Saturday night, and is considered among the most difficult tickets to obtain in sports, with waiting lists for this event one of the longest in sport. The race airs on ESPN starting in 2007. The spring race, the Food City 500, is a network television event on FOX.
