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
Shape: Oval

"opened in 1947 with 750 seats"

Amazing, and in the middle of nowhere.

Thank you very much Norm. You’re doing great work.

Tire beads melting. Hot brakes. Bumping and grinding. Oh yeah baby.

Just getting in. I love shorrt track!

Was busy checking out the neighbor’s rented new Grand Cherokee. Had to rent because his 74 Olds Cutlass Supreme needs a new steering column.

Have to admit the Jeep is really cool! Way more than my 98 Durango. Jeep has no frame though and the 4WD is some kind of automatic thing, not sure I like that.

Mrs p6 is excited because Gordon was in the lead and is still in it.

Thanks for the thread Norm. Great job of keeping us up-dated when we are late.

See you on the 14th for night racing in Texas.
