BellSouth Mobility 320

The BellSouth Mobility 320 was a NASCAR Busch Series stock car race held at Nashville Speedway USA, in Nashville, Tennessee. Debuting as a 200 lap race of 119.2 miles (191.8 km), it was originally held only during the 1984 season. The event returned the schedule in 1988, and again in 1989, after which it was removed a second time. The race returned to the Busch circuit yet again in 1995, this time the race distance being extended from 200 to 320 laps, now covering 190.7 miles (306.9 km) in distance. The race remained on the Busch Series schedule for the next six seasons, but was removed a third and final time following the 2000 season.
