Martinsville Speedway

(information from http://www.martinsvillespeedway.com and http://www.nascar.com)

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.

KASEY KAHNE QUOTES

“We know we can run up front at Martinsville. We finished second in the spring race last year. Finding the right setup is critical. It’s a challenge…500 laps in heavy traffic from start to finish. To be successful, you have to have a car that works in traffic, especially the corners. Patience is essential, but you still have to be aggressive to stay up front. It’s typical short track racing.” -http://www.evernhammotorsports.com
