“Thunder Valley” has been briefly turned into “Snow Valley.”

Snow has covered the area surrounding Bristol Motor Speedway, which is located in Northeast Tennessee.

A photo has been shared on Reddit by a user named ghawk15, who lives in Southwestern Virginia near the track.

The photo overlooks the valley in which the half-mile track is nestled, right next to a range of mountains.

Bristol has a history with snow. In 2006, a Xfinity Series race was delayed due to a snow storm.

Bristol isn’t the only track hit by snow in the last year. Pocono Raceway, Chicagoland Speedway and New Hampshire Motor Speedway had pictures taken of them after getting a fair share of snow dumped on their respective facilities.
