I did some searching and came up with this:
In an interview with Stock Car Racing's Larry Cothren, driver Ryan Newman openly disputed the measurement of the banking of Bristol Motor Speedway's turns. Newman's crew measured the banking during a test session to aid with setups, and found that the turns were banked 26 degrees, rather than the advertised 36 degrees.

36 is right for now. But that's all about to change. After this race they are going to resurface the track and go to a graduated banking. Should be interesting for the night race.
