About

Martinsville Speedway stands as NASCAR's oldest short track, hosting Cup Series, Xfinity Series, and Truck Series races in the heart of Virginia's racing country. Known as "The Paperclip" for its distinctive flat, half-mile oval configuration, Martinsville delivers intense door-to-door racing that emphasizes driver skill and strategic pit decisions over pure horsepower. The track's legendary grandfather clock trophies represent some of NASCAR's most coveted prizes, with racing legends like Richard Petty, Darrell Waltrip, and Jimmie Johnson cementing their legacies on its concrete surface. Current storylines center on playoff implications during the spring and fall Cup Series races, where championship contenders battle for crucial victories in NASCAR's elimination format. National television coverage and extensive media presence make Martinsville events premier destinations for motorsports journalists covering the sport's most competitive short-track racing action.
