Can Martin Truex Jr. extend his points lead in NASCAR’s Bristol night race? Here’s how to watch the Bass Pro Shops NRA Night Race live, on TV and online.
It’s a special Saturday evening contest for NASCAR this week, as the Bass Pro Shops NRA Night Race happens at Bristol Motor Speedway. The Bristol night race is always a favorite of drivers and fans alike, so will there be fireworks again this year?
Martin Truex Jr. would love to extend his points lead by picking up a Bass Pro Shops NRA Night Race win, and he’s not the only one who’d like to see the No. 78 back in Victory Lane for the second time in three races. Since he’s sponsored by Bass Pro Shops, you can bet this is a “home race” of sorts for the current Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series points leader.
But to win the Bristol night race, Truex will have to get through the five cars that qualified in front of him. They include his toughest rival and NASCAR’s most recent race winner Kyle Larson, as well as Truex’s teammate (for now) Erik Jones.
Things could get very interesting at the front of the Bass Pro Shops NRA Night Race, so you don’t want to miss it — especially since it’s on a different day, at a different time and on a new network as NBC takes the reins from cable sibling NBCSN. So how do you catch the Bristol action?
