Rain forced the postponement of the Food City 500 in Bristol, forcing the race to be played out Monday before a meager crowd. Fans who had to go back to work could not attend Monday’s race and missed a very good short-track race.The old Bristol track was asphalt, which produced exciting, one-groove racing with drivers using the bump and run in order to progress to the front, but when the track was repaved with cement several years ago, it led to very boring racing. NASCAR sprayed the inside track with VHT, a substance similar to rubber cement.
