| NASCAR began operation in 1948 and the
Martinsville Speedway ran its first NASCAR race on July 4th of that year. Today, Martinsville Speedway is the sixth race in the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Circuit.
At slightly more than half a mile, Martinsville Speedway is the shortest track on the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Circuit, but it's one of the biggest when it comes to action. It has 800-foot straights, turns banked at only 12 degrees and has been called "two drag strips with a turnaround on each end." The demanding layout consistently produces some of the wildest fender scrubbing, push and shove racing on the tour.The facility seats 86,000 and has 25 corporate suites. |
