Longtime NASCAR Partner Gearing up to Celebrate 80 Years of Racing

NASCAR has announced the races set for Martinsville Speedway in its upcoming season. The 2027 season marks the 80th anniversary of Martinsville Speedway, the only racetrack in the nation to host a NASCAR Cup Series race each year since the organization's inception. Clay Campbell, track president of the Martinsville Speedway since 1986 and grandson of the track's founder, says they're working with community members, business leaders, and even government officials to make the track's 80th year its biggest yet. In a nutshell. We plan on doing something all year long. You know, we're not going to point out the first race as being the 80th or the second race. It's all year long. The Speedway's next event is the Virginia late model triple crown finale next month. Emma Thomas, WFIR News.
