BRISTOL — Row 13 of the Wallace Tower section of grandstands at Bristol Motor Speedway will offer the highest altitude for fans at Saturday night's Pilot Flying J Battle at Bristol.

Of the 5,000 seats available in the Wallace Tower, between turns one and two of the race track and behind the Virginia Tech end zone, neither Tennessee nor Virginia Tech were assigned any tickets.

Instead, the section was part of Bristol Motor Speedway's allotment of 61,100 tickets for the event.

BMS executive vice president and general manager Jerry Caldwell said last week that all grandstands seats to his knowledge, which would include the Wallace Tower, are sold out.

Caldwell said before Tennessee's 20-13 overtime win against Appalachian State last Thursday at Neyland Stadium that only some premium seating — meaning seats on the track, in the end zone clubs or in luxury suites — were still available.
