The Martinsville Speedway is the smallest circuit in NASCAR Cup Series Calendar

Martinsville is famous for being the shortest in NASCAR’s Cup Series calendar. Speedway executive Clay Campbell said in an interview that he’s happy as racing is finally back. Additionally, he said that holding races without fans won’t be the same.

He said, “NASCAR and Martinsville have been teamed up for a long time. So we’re going to continue that tradition and provide a thrilling race on Wednesday night.”

After that, Campbell added, “We’ve got a lot of firsts that’ll happen on Wednesday night. Number one, a Wednesday night mid-week race. Number two, a full race under the lights, so it’s different. [There will be] no fans obviously, and that’s the bad part about it.”
