NASCAR Bristol 2012: Start Time, Starting Lineup, TV Channel Listings, Live Streaming Info And More

It’s NASCAR race night at Bristol Motor Speedway, and we’ve got the actual race start time, the starting lineup and some other facts about Saturday’s race for you below.

What time does the race start? Track official Scott Hatcher will give the command to fire engines at 7:40 p.m. ET. After a few pace laps, the green flag will wave at 7:45 p.m. So if you want to skip the pre-race show and just tune in for the actual race, flip on your TV sets at 7:45 p.m. ET.

Race name/distance: The Irwin Tools Night Race is one of the most famous events on NASCAR’s schedule. Bristol holds two Sprint Cup Series races per year, but only one is at night – and it used to be one of the hottest tickets in all of sports. The event is 500 laps around the 0.533-mile track for a total of 266.5 miles.

TV, radio and live streaming: The race can be seen onABC, but it is not available in all areas due to preseason football. To find out if your area is affected and to see alternate viewing plans, click here. There IS NO live streaming of the race today on Race Buddy or the Watch ESPN app because the race is on ABC. If you’ll be away from your computer and TV, check the Performance Racing Network’s web site for a list of affiliate radio stations in your area.

National anthem: Children of drivers and crew members will join together to sing the national anthem tonight. That takes place after Bristol’s famed driver introductions, which unfortunately won’t be seen on TV. But we’ll have a full list of the drivers’ songs back here during the race.

Tickets: Bristol is still a popular race, but it’s not the hot ticket it once was. The race is not expected to sell out tonight, so there WILL be tickets available at the door if you’re thinking of making a last-minute trip.

Weather: The unofficial NASCAR weatherman, Brian Neudorff, says the weather should be mostly dry and pleasant, though he notes there’s a chance of an isolated storm again. A few storms popped up on Friday unexpectedly and washed out qualifying, which remains a possibility for tonight’s race as well.

Last time: One year ago, Brad Keselowski won at Bristol despite a broken ankle. Then, in March, Keselowski made it two in a row with another Bristol victory. In tonight’s race, he’ll continue the “Blue Deuce” tradition by driving a Rusty Wallace throwback paint scheme.
