Over at Stock Car RacersReunion today, Tim Leeming started a post about the July 25, 1965 Bristol Grand National race.

It was Richard Petty's first GN race since NASCAR and Chyrsler reconciled their differences. But Petty also had a commitment that same weekend to run drags in Nashville. He flew multiple times between Nashville and Bristol to hit both events.
As a Petty fan lifer, now I'm trying to figure out WHERE he raced in Nashville. Could it have been at Union Hill near Ridgetop? Or perhaps at a track I didn't even know existed until this afternoon: RIverside Raceway just beyond west Nashville? Curious if anyone here might know.
