We’ve seen college football games played everywhere from baseball stadiums to football stadiums, and we’ll soon be able to add racetracks to that list.
That’s because in September, Tennessee and Virginia Tech will face off at the legendary Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, Tennessee, an area known by many to be NASCAR country.
In fact, though the game is months away, Tennessee’s football program tweeted a picture of preparations already being underway.

Needless to say, with hundreds of thousands of fans expected to show up, the attendance record of 115,109 should be shattered.
Also, as an added bonus, maybe have both team’s colors flown by on customized stock cars?
