Easily one of the most popular tracks in all of motorsports, Bristol Motor Speedway is also one of the loudest and shortest. Billed as “The World’s Fastest Half-Mile,” the track at Bristol is technically 0.533 miles in length. Typically a concrete oval, the historic venue now also hosts an annual dirt track race, the only such race in the NASCAR Cup Series.

Featuring extraordinarily steep banking, Bristol hosted its first Cup Series race in 1961 and is one of the oldest tracks in NASCAR. And as you can imagine, a historic track brings a historic list of winners.

Darrell Waltrip owns the most NASCAR Cup Series wins at Bristol Motor Speedway with 12

Including that first race in 1961 but not including the two non-points NASCAR All-Star races in 2020, Bristol Motor Speedway has hosted 125 Cup Series races. In those 125 races, a total of 45 different drivers have taken at least one checkered flag.

Of those 45, 21 have won at least two races at “The Last Great Colosseum,” and 16 have won at least three. Eleven took four or more checkered flags at Bristol, while a group of eight took at least five. Kurt Busch owns six victories here, and his brother, Kyle Busch, owns nine.

Busch, Dale Earnhardt Sr., Rusty Wallace, and Cale Yarborough are tied for second with nine victories each, three behind the man with the most wins here, Darrell Waltrip. The 84-time Cup Series winner and NASCAR Hall of Famer won in Bristol for the first time in April 1978 and for the last in August 1992. Waltrip won seven straight at Bristol from March 1981 to April 1984.
