Collectors of Bristol Motor Speedway’s souvenir programs are in for a special treat as both the March and August editions will commemorate the storied track’s 50th anniversary.
Both programs feature golden covers with numerous stories and photos that trace the history of the World’s Fastest Half-Mile. And with the purchase of the program comes a one-of-a-kind poster that is sure to become a collector’s item itself.
The poster for the March race spotlights winners from the first 50 spring events at BMS, dating back to 1961. Legends such as Darrell Waltrip, Dale Earnhardt, Rusty Wallace, Cale Yarborough, David Pearson are featured, along with some of today’s stars, like Jeff Gordon, Kurt Busch, Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick and Jeff Burton.
The August poster features all winners from Bristol Motor Speedway’s second race.
Motorsports artist Roger Warrick created the original artwork that will be part of the program package for the Jeff Byrd 500 Presented by Food City at BMS. Warrick, a race fan at heart, has produced artwork for numerous race teams and tracks over his 20-year career.
The poster will be given away as part of the souvenir program package, which includes the program, a BMS 1/64th scale die-cast car and a plastic sleeve to protect the program. Cost of the program package is only $10. Fans wishing to purchase the $15 package also will receive a BMS racing t-shirt.
The program cover for the Jeff Byrd 500 race weekend features Earnhardt, Waltrip, Wallace and Kyle Busch as well as a couple of the more memorable moments in the track’s history.
The program goes on sale Friday, March 18 at BMS during Ford Fan Friday qualifying.
