A Bit About The Martinsville Speedway 

Martinsville Nascar



Martinsville speedway is a driver's track where exchanging paint is commonplace and no car completes 500 laps without body damage. But, with its long straight-aways and short, tight turns banked at only 12 degrees, such is expected. The Martinsville speedway has been called "two drag strips with short turns."

The Martinsville Speedway opened in 1947. NASCAR began operation in 1948 and the Martinsville speedway ran its first NASCAR race on July 4th 1948.
