Pit Stall Selections – Bristol: The selections for pit stalls of the Food City at Bristol Motor Speedway have been made. Pole sitter #5-Martin chose pit stall 1, while outside pole sitter #39-Ryan Newman took pit stall 23, the first on the back stretch pits. Bristol Motor Speedway operates under a plan where one-pit road will be used during pit stops under caution. Currently, Bristol remains the only track in Sprint Cup that utilizes two pit roads. Teams that pit on the backstretch used to be at a competitive disadvantage. Since the spring 2002 race at Bristol, teams will enter pit road in Turn 2 (the current backstretch pit entrance) drive around down the backstretch and around Turns 3 and 4 and exit in Turn 1. Under green-flag conditions teams will enter and exit pit road under the current two-pit-road scheme. How are pit stall’s chosen? by qualifying speeds, the fastest choose their stall and so on. See the pit selction chart on the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway Pit Stall Selection page.(3-21-2009)
