It's time for America's Night Race! With NASCAR visiting Bristol Motor Speedway this weekend for the much-anticipated Bristol Night Race, we take a look back at some of the sport's top moments at the .533-mile track.

July 30, 1961: Jack Smith wins the first Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series (then-NASCAR Grand National) race at Bristol Motor Speedway (then-Bristol International Speedway), though Johnny Allen was in the driver's seat when the car passed the start/finish line. Smith drove the first 290 laps then had to have Allen take over as his relief driver.

April 1, 1979: NASCAR Hall of Famer Dale Earnhardt earned his first premier series win at Bristol Motor Speedway at 27 years old.

April 8, 1990: It came down to the final 10 laps of the Valleydale Meats 500 as NASCAR veterans Davey Allison, Mark Martin, Sterling Marlin and Ricky Rudd ran 1-2-3-4 in a straight line, separated by just inches. Rudd got too aggressive heading into Turn 1, which sent Marlin into the outside wall. Allison and Martin then charged to the start/finish line as Martin went low and careened back up the track, colliding with Allison just as the two hit the line. NASCAR declared Allison the winner after reviewing photo and video evidence.

Aug. 29, 1992: Darrell Waltrip (seen here with Davey Allison in 1992) wins for the 12th and final time in Cup competition at Bristol. Waltrip's 12 wins at the 0.533-mile track are the most among all competitors in the top series.

April 13, 1997: Rusty Wallace had led 240 laps, hopeful to close in on another win at the .533-miler. That was until Jeff Gordon closed in on his fellow Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series champion. Gordon made several attempts to pass Wallace and eventually did so by bumping him on the final lap, sending the No. 2 Ford into traffic. Wallace later called the incident a 'love tap.'

Aug. 28, 1999: Dale Earnhardt was in the lead on old tires and Terry Labonte was running fifth with a fresh set when Labonte charged his No. 5 to the lead, getting low past 'The Intimidator' as the white flag waved. Earnhardt then got bumper-to-bumper with Labonte, spinning him into the field -- which collected several others in a wreck -- and the No. 3 found Victory Lane. Earnhardt was remembered for uttering some of the most famous words spoken in NASCAR: 'I didn't mean to turn him around, I meant to rattle his cage.'

March 26, 2006: Short tracks have a tendency to spark short tempers and the 2006 Food City 500 was no different. Battling for position, Jeff Gordon nudged Matt Kenseth out of the way late to better his chances of securing the win. Kenseth returned the favor, ultimately spinning Gordon out. The four-time champion tracked down Kenseth on pit road after the checkered flag and delivered a hard, two-handed shove.

March 21, 2010: On the path to his fifth Monster Energy Series championship, Hendrick Motorsports driver Jimmie Johnson earned his 50th career Monster Energy Series win at Bristol, celebrating the landmark victory with his No. 48 team.

Aug. 21, 2010: Kyle Busch busted out the broom in Victory Lane, becoming the first driver in NASCAR history to win all three national series in the same weekend. This event produced both history and harsh words as Brad Keselowski grabbed the microphone during driver introductions and yelled, 'Kyle Busch is an (expletive)!' to the delight of the crowd. Busch then went out and won the race, earning the first tripleheader sweep in NASCAR history.

Aug. 25, 2012: Tony Stewart and Matt Kenseth battled for the lead in 2012, racing wheel-to-wheel and eventually getting sideways and sliding into the wall. But that wasn't where the dramatics ended, it's where they began. Stewart took his No. 14 down pit road and waited for Kenseth to drive past so he could launch his helmet toward the No. 17, hitting Kenseth's Ford on the nose. Stewart later said, 'I'm going to run over him every chance I get for the rest of the year.'

March 17, 2013: Planting the seed for what would later turn into a larger confrontation, Denny Hamlin and Joey Logano got into it after Hamlin made contact with the No. 22 Ford's bumper, sending Logano spinning. Hamlin later said (echoing Earnhardt's famous quote), 'I meant to run into him, didn't mean to spin him out.' After the race, Logano greeted Hamlin by sticking his head in the No. 11 Toyota and lunging after Hamlin before crew members pulled the Team Penske driver away. The dust didn't settle there between the former teammates, as one week later, the two drivers were involved in a final-lap wreck at Auto Club Speedway, resulting in Hamlin injuring his back.

Aug. 19, 2017: Kyle Busch completes the weekend sweep at Bristol Motor Speedway for the second time, holding off Erik Jones to win the Monster Energy Series race. Busch is the only driver to have accomplished the weekend sweep -- and after this day he set that bar even higher.
