Before the action on the racetrack, there was a lap around a different venue.
“I couldn’t think of a better way to kick it off,” NASCAR Hall of Famer Rusty Wallace said.
NASCAR haulers circled Sovah Health Martinsville in a parade to honor our health care heroes.
“It’s amazing the amount of work they have done,” Martinsville Speedway President Clay Campbell said. “What a risk to be a frontline worker, dealing with COVID, and they have done it without hesitation.”

Last-minute touch-ups are being done for things like painting and preparing necessary health protocols.
This is the first time ever the track will host three consecutive nights of racing and the most fans they’ll have in more than a year.
Martinsville Speedway President Clay Campbell said their capacity will be a little under the 30% they’re allowed.
“Last year, we had zero for this race last year. We had 1,000 for the fall race and now we’re up to 30%, so it’s going to be really great to see fans out there enjoying what Martinsville Speedway has to offer and enjoying NASCAR racing and that’s what it’s all about. So it’s really a great weekend,” Campbell said.
