“I’m happy with the new surface, they have done a nice job, said two-time Darlington winner Greg Biffle. “There are no bumps or dips anywhere that we have noticed; I was pretty impressed with how smooth it was. The car was really stable and I was happy with the first few laps.”

What do you think about when you hear the words “Pretty Paperclip”? I bet it’s not Martinsville Speedway.

The speedway is in the shape of a paperclip and is in the opinion of some people “The Pretty Paperclip Track”. At 0.526 miles (847 meters) in length, it is the shortest track in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. The track was also one of the first paved “speedways” in NASCAR, being built in 1947 by H. Clay Earles.
