Welcome to Martinsville Speedway, the oldest and smallest track on NASCAR's circuit. The Sprint Cup Series returns to the 0.526-mile Virginia short track after the first off-weekend of the season. The Camping World Truck Series also gets back on track for its second race of the season (the series has been on a break since its February opener at Daytona).

There's no telling what we'll see at the track fondly known as The Paperclip following the action and incidents at Bristol and Fontana. One thing we can be sure of: Short tracks breed short tempers.

The Nationwide Series has an off-weekend and will return next week at Texas Motor Speedway.
