Congrats to the Pilot Flying J Battle at Bristol

Congratulations to our client Pilot Flying J – as well as our partners Bristol Motor Speedway and ESPN – for being selected by SportsBusiness Journal/Daily as a finalist for the Event of Year as part of the annual Sports Business Awards. The winner of the prestigious award will be announced during a ceremony on Wednesday, May 24, 2017, at the New York Marriott Marquis at Times Square. The Pilot Flying J Battle at Bristol featured Virginia Tech and Tennessee competing in the infield of the historic Bristol Motor Speedway in front of a Guinness World Record 156,990 fans.
