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.

I’ve been toying with heading down I-81, but I will probably watch it on TV. Replays! Richmond was fun, but it’s getting COLD!

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!!
