The Pinnacle Speedway in Lights kicks off

It is that time of year again, and Bristol Motor Speedway will light up with holiday spirit as The Pinnacle Speedway in Lights opens Friday, Nov. 17.

This is the 21st year of Speedway in Lights.

The event added a brand-new section to the famed route called "Race to Space."

According to NBC affiliate WCYB, the exciting new portion will guide visitors through a galaxy themed tunnel that is designed for an out of this world experience, taking visitors through space.

The Pinnacle Speedway in Lights is expected to dazzle approximately 200,000 guests from around the world with more than 2 million lights spread across a five-mile route around BMS property, including a lap around the oval and a trip down the drag strip.

Inside the oval, the popular Appalachian country-themed Christmas Village will feature holiday vendors, family-friendly midway rides, arts and crafts, hot chocolate with marshmallows, and a special visit from Santa Claus.

The Pinnacle Speedway in Lights will run from Friday, Nov. 17 through Saturday, Jan. 6.

The event costs $15 for cars from Sunday through Thursday and $20 on Friday and Saturday nights.

Guest can also take advantage of Jingle Bell Lane, the “fast pass” option that offers a shorter wait time to enter the attraction, for $45.
