When you click on the link you show for Bristol Motor Speedway, go to the very bottom of that screen and click on the "Bristol Motor Speedway"; when that screen comes up, there is a phone number for BMS: 423-689-6900. You will have to call that number to get ticket prices for the rubber sharks. I did it for you who are interested. The rubber sharks are $10 each and the actual rubber shark race begins at 1:30 PM Saturday the 17th of October. Today is the last day you can purchase those at the above number; they will cease selling them at 12 NOON today, Oct. 16th. I do not know if you can purchase them at the entrance on Saturday or not.
