Hi, my family and I will be visiting Eastern ,TN this summer and my husband wants to see the Motor Speedway. Can anyone suggest: restaurants, shopping, other things to see while we are there?
Likewise, if there is anything we should steer clear of, please let me know that as well.

Downtown Bristol has maybe a dozen or so antique and arts type places if you like that sort of thing.
Blackbird Bakery - Bristol, VA
Southeast Culinary & Hospitality College
Do you like little hole in the wall eateries or prefer something nicer?

local music or music history an interest?
Lots of festivals in the area also, so might be something fun going on while you're here too.

Thank you for your replies!
DubbleT- I like restaurants that aren't chains. I prefer to eat somewhere that I can't find where I live; otherwise, what's the point, right? I will have to try the bakery.

Here are a few more

The Troutdale Dining Room | Upscale Dining in Bristol Tn -reputation as good but pricey
Freiberg's German Restaurant | Downtown Johnson City, TN -couple of co-workers rave about this one in JC
Bristol's Famous Burger Bar - Bristol, VA downtown diner, historic/nostalgia, touristy and therefore kinda pricey for what it is

and a few mom and pops-

Purple Cow - Kingsport | Urbanspoon local fave, drive thru only
https://plus.google.com/100143188121...ut?gl=us&hl=en -little dive with good food
https://www.facebook.com/bluecirclebristol -looks like something you'd want to drive past and not much nicer inside, but it's a real throwback to earlier times. The food is simple, good, plentiful, and cheap. The employees are like something from a fifties TV show. Next door to the putt putt too if you guys like to kill a little time that way.

Lots to choose from depending on your tastes

I'd add the Simply Delicious deli. It's on the Parkway very close to BMS
