Guest Housing was established in 1996 to answer the need for additional accommodations as the Bristol Motor Speedway expanded its seating capacity.

Guest Housing offers over 150 guest rooms within homes and over 60 private homes. All of our locations are within 30 miles of the speedway; many within walking distance; we visit every home before listing it; we provide our guests with complete directions to the home and from the home to the speedway; the beds are made up, towels, soap, and coffee are provided. Our guests have full use of the home and its amenities.

Once a guest, you are given 1st option of rebooking for the next race season before we accept new reservations.

About the Founder

Guest Housing was begun in the mid ‘90s when a local businesswoman, Sue Ojanen, saw the need for accommodations during the NASCAR events at BMS.  To meet that need, Sue created Guest Housing, which was the first company in the region to provide housing in private homes for race guests.  Under Sue’s direction, Guest Housing received the Pinnacle Award for Special Events, Accommodations Division; and the Greater Tri-Cities Business of the Year award.  Sue continues to stay involved with Guest Housing as a consultant, offering her valuable insight and experience to the new owners of the company.
