NASCAR HAULERS ARRIVE AT BRISTOL MOTOR SPEEDWAY - 2024

The NASCAR Cup Series haulers entering Bristol Motor Speedway is one of the craziest looking things you'll ever see. The 80,000 pound big rigs loaded with 2 NASCAR haulers and all sorts of equipment and tools enter at the crossover gate at the entry to turn 3 on the half mile high banked track, come down the steep banking, making a left turn to drive toward turn 2 on the backstretch.
They go all the way around the track and make the tight turn to enter the infield garage area almost directly across from where they entered the track. They could potentially come straight across into the infield but looping around the track allows all of the trucks to get into the facility quicker, clearing the last trucks from the roadways entering the speedway.
They come in in a specific order that allows them to park efficiently, at first alternating teams' trucks parking at spots on opposite ends of the garage, but putting each team side by side with its own team trucks.
It's a very organized and precise process with each truck lining up it's left tires on the white line and then the back of each truck's trailer lined up on the exact spot to put them all in a very nice straight line.

What a glorious, uniquely American spectacle.

[@wrxsti1987]

Correct 😉

[@jusjos1970]

Coolest semis I've ever seen

[@danshobbies13]

As a truck driver, this would be my dream job in the industry.

[@timford3599]

The Semi Tractor Trailer Hauler drivers are IMO so much overlooked and under appreciated. And I would bet that they're better drivers than some of the guys you see on the track. Besides keeping the schedule from track to track on time. They've got to make sure the hauler is stocked from groceries to uniforms and even parts and tools. Bottom line is that the Hauler drivers are due some major respect!

[@MrCrazyhamster28]

The other huge task the truck drivers have is keeping their rigs spotless. This includes the trailer. Or at least that's the case for Motocross.

[@scottyt6024]

This is better than the race!

[@PhantomDrums917]

I'm pretty convinced you need balls of steel to drive a hauler into this stadium. Not to mention this must be the only track where the haulers leave just as many skidmarks on the track as the cars do! Well done drivers! Respect.

[@JodyChism]

This is like a backstage pass❤😊😊😊 thank you

One of my favorite parts of racing, brakes crying, mud flaps dragging. Love this truck parade. Thanks for sharing!

[@Rebelson122]

It’s nice to see SHR And RCR giving their hauler drivers a bit more room with the ARI sleepers. ( them are so far the only two teams I’ve noticed)

[@BeagleBageler]

I’m not a big semi guy, but what about RFK? They look like they’ve got some room in the back there for a sleeping quarter thingy mabob. I mean obviously though they’re not as big. It also looks like hendrick has some sleepers too….. although it’s just dawned on me you may just be talking about them having more space :P Again apologies, I really don’t know what I’m talking about 😅

[@Rebelson122]

@@BeagleBageler the RFK trucks are standard for the style(international lone star) as well with Hendricks. ( freightliner cascadia) The ARI sleepers are built separately from the manufacturer. While most US truck are big enough for a bed, TV, and Microwave, but the ARI is about the size of a pop up camper which allows for more space for one, but also maybe an actual stove and maybe a toilet. 😁 I just noticed there was a show more 😂😂 yes, all truck are sleepers but the ARI just gives a more comfortable living space while on the road

[@BeagleBageler]

@@Rebelson122 Sweet, so the ARI’s are more like something akin to when you buy an f650 and then get a custom bed for whatever you need it for? At least I mean, like you said, it’s another company that puts that together Also thanks for the explanation, I do appreciate it 😃

[@schrap72]

Those rigs are beautiful ❤❤

[@badad0166]

Most hazardous part of the journey is cutting down on into the track!

[@boknows3841]

The base of the track is at least 12 feet thick. Much thicker then the base for l 80 in Pennsylvania.. The weight is spread out over the axles and tires. The trucks are admitted by drivers points. That gives the team with the most points the bigger advantage when it comes to preparing to race and amenities..

[@boknows3841]

Back in the day, tracks like Darlington, the track temperature was so high in the summer that the track disintegrated and the blacktop came out in big chunks. Maybe you can remember seeing the pictures of the cars with screen and shields mounted to the front to try to protect the windshield and radiator. This is the reason why they had to improve the base of all of the tracks and why some tracks like Dover are made from Concrete and not Macadam.

[@carolsmith9683]

Joey’s truck was first and he’s not the leader in drivers points.

I’ve pulled the race tire trailer out of there once and that was enough for me. Almost thought I would’ve snagged the catch fence on the way out when I left. That slope is steep enough that the transmission becomes louder than the engine as you climb it. Not fun but certainly an experience.
