2017 Food City 500
The 2017 Food City 500 was a Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race that was scheduled for April 23, 2017, but was postponed until April 24, 2017 due to rain at Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, Tennessee. Contested over 500 laps on the 0.533 miles (0.858 km) concrete short track, it was the eighth race of the 2017 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series season.
Bristol Motor Speedway, formerly known as Bristol International Raceway and Bristol Raceway, is a NASCAR short track venue located in Bristol, Tennessee. Constructed in 1960, it held its first NASCAR race on July 30, 1961. Despite its short length, Bristol is among the most popular tracks on the NASCAR schedule because of its distinct features, which include extraordinarily steep banking, an all concrete surface, two pit roads, and stadium-like seating.
Erik Jones was the fastest in the first practice session with a time of 15.009 seconds and a speed of 127.843 mph (205.743 km/h).
Qualifying for Friday was cancelled due to rain and Kyle Larson, the point leader, was awarded the pole as a result.
Kyle Busch was the fastest in the second practice session with a time of 14.890 seconds and a speed of 128.865 mph (207.388 km/h).
Kyle Busch was the fastest in the final practice session with a time of 14.925 and a speed of 128.563 mph (206.902 km/h).
The race was scheduled to be held on Sunday, April 23, but rain delayed it to Monday, April 24.
Kyle Larson led the field to the green flag at 1:11 p.m. The first caution flew on lap 54 when Kurt Busch bounced off Trevor Bayne exiting Turn 4, slid down the front stretch and hit the inside wall. Chris Buescher slammed into the back of Reed Sorenson while slowing down to avoid Busch. Buescher went on to finish last. This brought out the red flag for five minutes and 10 seconds to facilitate cleanup in Turns 1 and 2.
