🎯 Championship Weekend at Martinsville: Clay Campbell Previews the High-Stakes ActionFrom iHeart Radio, Scott Stevens sat down with Clay Campbell, Track President of Martinsville Speedway, to preview one of the most anticipated weekends in NASCAR — the Xfinity 500 and the final playoff elimination races before the championship showdown.🏁 Four Races, One Epic WeekendMartinsville isn’t just hosting the NASCAR Cup Series — it’s the stage for a four-race spectacle. The weekend kicks off with the Modifieds, followed by the Craftsman Truck Series on Friday night, the Xfinity Series on Saturday, and the Cup Series on Sunday. Each race is a playoff pressure cooker, especially Sunday’s Round of 8, where only four drivers will advance to the championship.“You come in here with eight and you leave with four — that is high pressure,” Campbell said. “And what better place to have high pressure than Martinsville Speedway?”🔥 Expect the UnexpectedCampbell compared Martinsville to Talladega in one key way: unpredictability. With 40 cars packed onto the half-mile oval, anything can happen — and often does. But unlike Talladega, Martinsville puts more control in the hands of the driver.“Christopher Bell told me he loves Martinsville because he has input on what happens,” Campbell shared.🎉 Fan Experience Like No OtherMartinsville isn’t just about racing — it’s about immersion. Fans can expect a jam-packed Midway with souvenir trailers, musical acts, and Q&A sessions. Those with pre-race passes can walk the track, sign the start/finish line, and get up close with drivers like Ryan Blaney, Brad Keselowski, Kyle Busch, and Todd Gilliland.And don’t miss Sunday’s national anthem performed by the 300-member Liberty University Marching Band — a spectacle in itself.🌭 Hot Dogs & Grandfather ClocksNo Martinsville weekend is complete without its legendary hot dogs. Campbell estimates 50,000 to 60,000 will be sold over the weekend. And of course, every driver — championship contender or not — wants to win the iconic grandfather clock trophy.“It’s the most sought-after trophy in all of motorsports — maybe all of sports,” Campbell said, teasing a new clock design debuting in 2026.💸 Affordable Fun for the Whole FamilyIn an era of skyrocketing ticket prices, Martinsville remains one of the most affordable major sporting events. Cup Series tickets start at just $45.“Where else can you see a major sporting event for that price?” Campbell asked. “Go to martinsvillespeedway.com or call 877-RACETICS to grab your tickets.”🎧 Listen InCatch the full interview with Clay Campbell and hear more about the excitement, strategy, and behind-the-scenes magic of Martinsville’s championship weekend.
