Martinsville Speedway has always been a difficult challenge for the drivers because of its fast corners and long exits. However, despite the discomfort, the drivers face while racing on the circuit, it is still one of the favorite tracks because of its short length.
It will be interesting to see what happens at the Martinsville Speedway at the end of this month which will provide us with the final four of the season.
