Kelly Bires will see Bristol Motor Speedway for the first time on Thursday, when the Busch Series holds an open practice session at the recently resurfaced facility. A night later, he’ll be racing for keeps in the Food City 250. Things happen fast at Bristol, but that’s nothing new for Bires this season. A Wisconsin native who will celebrate his 23rd birthday Saturday, Bires was slated to split time with Mark Martin in a Wood Brothers/JTG Racing Ford in the Craftsman Truck Series after debuting there last year. That all changed in June when health issues sidelined Jon Wood, who drove for the team in the Busch Series http://www.autoracingdaily.com/13041/
