Dolly Parton to be honored at NASCAR Bristol Night Race weekend with special logo

Bristol Motor Speedway will honor country singer Dolly Parton throughout the NASCAR Bristol Bass Pro Shops Night Race weekend from September 17-19. The speedway, located 100 miles from Parton's home in Sevierville, will display a special tribute logo featuring her pink butterfly across the 0.533-mile track and throughout the property.

Teams competing in NASCAR’s Cup, O Reilly, and Craftsman Trucks series can acquire race-ready Dolly butterfly decals to display on their vehicles. A 15-foot by 7-foot tribute banner will be placed in the Fan Zone for fans to write messages and take photos. Dolly's music will be featured during the weekend. NASCAR president Jerry Caldwell stated, "Dolly’s impact reaches far beyond East Tennessee, but she’ll always have a special place here at home."

The Bass Pro Shops Night Race on September 19 will also include entertainment from Brad Pitt, Josef Newgarden, Ric Flair, Brian Kelley, and Lee Greenwood. Fans will receive yellow towels and participate in a Lap 18 tribute to fallen Cup driver Kyle Busch. The three Nashville races in the 2025 NASCAR Chase saw Christopher Bell win at Darlington, Kyle Larson at Gateway, and a race to be determined at Bristol. Tickets available at BristolMotorSpeedway or by calling 866-415-4158.
