Bristol only has a regular bracket program because of Red Whitmore. Upper management didn't want to deal with it, but lets Red run his DER Racing Series. He's done a great job with it over the years. Shows what a little effort can do.

Zmax is a tax writeoff. It's really sad to have such a nice facility sit there most of the year. They have a ridiculous amount of overhead. It costs too much for them to open the gates, and the rental is so high it's not worth it for outside promoters to make use of it.
