Battle at Bristol: Bosses and bugs view speedway field

With fewer than two weeks until the September 10 “Battle at Bristol” between Tennessee and Virginia Tech, bosses and bugs are checking out the new field.

The event’s official Twitter feed, @BattleAtBristol, released more images from Bristol Motor Speedway on Monday after the weekend’s work. Now, it’s increasingly clear: Bristol is nearly ready for some football.

Here’s a time-lapse video of the week’s work.
