Martinsville Speedway Race Menu for the weekend series Martinsville Speedway As NASCAR has grown, so has Martinsville Speedway. Martinsville Speedway ran its first NASCAR race on July 4, 1948. In 1949, Martinsville ran the sixth race in the series that eventually became the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series. Martinsville Speedway opened in 1947 with 750 seats and has grown continuously over the years. But, other than being paved in 1955, the track configuration has not changed since Red Byron won the inaugural event. Martinsville Speedway, located three miles south of Martinsville, Va., is the only original NASCAR-sanctioned track still running NEXTEL Cup events. Richard Petty, now a car owner, remains the track's leading winner with 15 victories.

He must be on break.
And I wanted to thank him for all the Pacific moisture he’s sending us.
It is getting cold and TMS is coming up.
It’s gets pretty chilly out there since there’s nothing to stop the wind.
I love short track racing. Its up close and personal. Lots of tire rub marks on the side of your car. Pushin and shovin is the norm. Anything can happen. GO Mark Martin!!
Beer does!
Saves on ice!
See you all on Sunday.
Very nice Standings list, and click-able too!
Can you PM me with how you did that?
Pinging Martin for Martinsville?
One more day and I will revolutionize short track racin with my quick change fenders and bumpers using Velcro and Wet or Dry Crazy Glue. I must get back down in the La bor a tory...
