The NASCAR Cup Series heads to Martinsville Speedway Sunday afternoon for the Xfinity 500. The race will feature 500 laps around the 0.526-mile short track, with the stages ending on laps 130, 260 and 500. Martinsville is one of the most important dominator races on the schedule because the lap count is so high, creating a huge amount of laps-led and fastest-lap points for the drivers that spend the afternoon at the front.

The NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series heads to Martinsville Speedway Saturday afternoon for the National Debt Relief 250. The race will feature 250 laps around the 0.526-mile short track, with the stages ending on laps 60, 120 and 250. Martinsville has always produced some of the most physical racing in this series because of the short straightaways, tight corners and very little room for drivers to complete passes cleanly.

The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series heads to Martinsville Speedway Friday night for the Black’s Tire 200 presented by Down East Heating & Air Conditioning, the sixth race of The Chase. The race will feature 200 laps around the 0.526-mile short track, with the stages ending on laps 50, 100 and 200. Martinsville is one of the oldest and most unique tracks on the NASCAR schedule and should give us a very different type of race after coming off the drafting chaos at Talladega.

The NASCAR Cup Series heads to Talladega Superspeedway Sunday afternoon for the YellaWood 500, the eighth race of The Chase. The race will feature 188 laps around the 2.66-mile superspeedway, with the stages ending on laps 98, 143 and 188. Talladega is the largest oval on the NASCAR schedule and is one of the most unpredictable races of the season because the field will spend most of the day racing together in a large pack.

The NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series heads to Talladega Superspeedway Saturday afternoon for The Progress Group 250, the seventh race of The Chase. The race will feature 94 laps around the 2.66-mile superspeedway, with the stages ending on laps 25, 50 and 94. Talladega is the largest oval on the NASCAR schedule and will once again produce the tight pack racing, constant position changes and high wreck potential that make drafting tracks completely different for DFS.
