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.

Track Facts
Banking/Turns: 12 degrees
Distance: .526 miles

The cul de sac 500. I love racing but Bristol and Martinsville are my least favorite tracks.

[vox_freedom]

Thanks for the thread & ping NormsRevenge!

[AGreatPer]

Cranberry background? Hmmmm. Red letters on it you can't see?
I love the work you guys put into presenting this race thread and realize how much time it takes. Thank you.

[NormsRevenge]

Everyone definitely has their own races they prefer to watch, for Bristol & M’ville spectators , you are right at the trackside for the action. I’m partial to all of them tho road tracks can be fun if covered well. I should try and make one Sonoma race week-end before I croak.. it’s the closest by far, next to Fontana and Vegas. I’d love a Dega or ‘Toga but it will have to be next time thru.. hopefully I won’t come back as a Busch fan. They can be oxnoxious lil buggers.. that and get ya in trouble too. ;-)

[NormsRevenge]

I blow’d it with the REd letters. I mussed it up real good. hate to have to pull the thread down to fix it. that ‘un and the color pinkish kind of set some folk off, it seems. I pledz not guilty. nobody forcing anyone to click on the thread. (you should have seen a couple of the colors I tried.) ;-]
