Always wish they had decided to make this place the cookie cutter for all the new tracks that came up up during the late-90s/early-00s boom.

A Good Racetrack.

A conveyor belt of cars.

Best rack they go to.

one of my favourites as well

Martinsville has grown on me quite a bit the past year or two, but I still don't quite understand why so many people consider the track to be among the very best. Location/seating issues aside, I can think of at least five or six other short tracks they don't even race on that I like more than Martinsville.

That being said, I do have plenty of respect for its long history and commitment to NASCAR and its fans. And from a technical standpoint it's definitely a challenge unmatched by any other track they visit (with all the stress on the brakes and drivetrain).

Jeff Gordon has 3 finishes outside the Top 20 at Martinsville, 31 top10 and no DNF in 38 starts. With the luck he is having lately this may change this week end.

Martinsville & BTCC. It's going to be a fun weekend ahead!

This'll be the race where his luck turns around. Well, I hope it does, it's so frustrating being a fan of his sometimes.

Martinsville? More like Mattinsville, right?

Matt

I enjoy Martinsville, you know there will be plenty of contact. Still wish I'd gone before they moved the NS tracks back away from the Speedway. Between the race and the trains, I think I'd be set for an enjoyable afternoon.

Aww I will miss this weekend's races.

Download it is, then

Let us not forget that this weekend marks the return of a favourite:


Matt

I haven't been a Fan of the track since the 90's.

Provided that he doesn't go on another beer run before race weekend.

Matt

is this where they sell hotdogs ?

Matt

Yep, and we'll probably get a few shots of them during the race coverage again. I'd like to try them someday since we always hear how good they are.

Matt

MAN OH MAN I WISH I COULD GET ONE OF THEM HOTDOGS

- Anyone from the commentary booth

They are really good hot dogs, it's not an exaggeration, I think I ate ten of them the last time I went to Martinsville.
