Martinsville Speedway was founded in 1947 by H. Clay Earles. The small track measures 0.526 miles in length and features tight corners and a shape that’s often compared to a paper clip. Capacity for the Speedway ranges from 44,000 and 65,000 spectators, depending on how the stands get configured. This compact track helps fans feel closer to the action. Since 1949, Martinsville Speedway has been the annual host of Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series. And they host other major races like the STP 500, the TruNorth Global 250 NASCAR Truck Series race, and the ValleyStar Credit Union 300.
