The sold-out crowd at Bristol Motor Speedway has set a new world’s record – not for the selling out the world’s fastest half mile for a 53rd consecutive time or for their reputation as the most die-hard race fans, but for the largest audience wave.
The fan participation event was sponsored by TUMS and sought to best the world record by 50,000 people on the 30th anniversary of the running of the Sharpie 500. As race fans stood up and threw their arms in the air for the synchronized display, they were told the ‘wave’ would have to make a complete round of the massive arena.
Race enthusiasts here did better than that, allowing the wave to continue nearly a half-dozen times after hearing they had set the record.
Fans who were part of the record-setter can document their participation by visiting http://www.bristolmotorspeedway.com/tums/ to download an official personalized certificate from BMS and TUMS.
