Turn back the clock and take a trip to Martinsville with me. This place has that old time NASCAR feeling about it. Maybe the stands are not as comfy. Perhaps the garage area is a bit cramped. But this place oozes charm! Grab a Martinsville hot dog, a cold drink and unwind. Get away from the rat race of the big city. Mingle with the locals that make you feel welcome in their hometown as if you belonged there all the time. That’s a trip to Martinsville and some good old-fashioned fender-banging racing. Better hurry up and book your trip back in time before the future makes this place a history lesson instead of a great race.
