“The Paperclip,” Martinsville Speedway, holds a few NASCAR
distinctions – learn what they are and more about the history of this short
track in this week’s Fast Facts.
- Martinsville Speedway is older than NASCAR itself: the 0.526-mile track opened in 1947 with seating for 750 spectators – over 6,000 showed up for the first race. NASCAR was formed in 1948, and in 1949 Martinsville Speedway hosted its first race in the series; it has been on the schedule every year since.
- In addition to being a charter NASCAR track, Martinsville is also the shortest track on the schedule. The track surface itself is a unique hybrid of asphalt straightaways and concrete corners. Until 1999, Martinsville had two pit roads, similar to Bristol Motor Speedway; the pit area was reconfigured to have pit road begin at the entrance of Turn 3 and end in the exit of Turn 2, allowing for a garage to be built in the infield.
- Another distinction Martinsville holds is its unique trophy: a longcase grandfather clock, chosen by track architect and owner H. Clay Earles to represent the Martinsville area. The clocks are made by an area company, Ridgeway Clocks, and are valued (circa 2009) at approximately $10,000.
- Richard Petty holds the records for most wins (15), most starts (67) and most laps completed (27,891) at Martinsville. Joey Logano currently holds the Sprint Cup Series qualifying record at the track: 100.201 mph (18.898 seconds).
- Current Speedway president Clay Campbell is Earles’ grandson. He has competed in the ARCA Racing Series and K&N Pro Series East in recent years, earning a career-best third-place finish in the ARCA Series race at Daytona in February 2014, driving for NASCAR veteran Ken Schrader.
