Ross Chastain turned Bristol Motor Speedway’s reputation for speed into a viral moment this week by piloting a Chevrolet Corvette pace car at race pace around the half-mile track.
The stunt highlighted the track’s nickname, *The Last Great Colosseum*, where cars and fans share close proximity. Chastain’s lap captured the circuit’s signature blend of proximity and velocity, offering a fresh look at a venue already famous for its packed grandstands and aggressive racing.
The pace lap comes as Bristol prepares for another packed weekend of NASCAR action, with fans and drivers alike anticipating another weekend of short-track chaos.
