Race Report: Martinsville's Petty Paperclip & Hot Dogs

 I Love Martinsville! Not just because I'm in Virginia but it's the smallest Track NASCAR races on at just over a 1/2 mile and it's flat. Well, just about flat with 12 degree Banking in the Turns and Flat Straights. One word comes to mind... BRAKES.

Again this week the race will favor Dirt and Flat Track Drivers but other names like Jimmy Johnson like to win here as well. This weekends rain may be a factor with possible Practices and Qualifying being canceled if the rain keeps up. They are calling for clear skys on Sunday for the race but it will be a rain washed and very slick track till the boys get some rubber down. Look for a mandatory Caution from NASCAR if this happens.

What to get while yer at Martinsville you ask? Their World Famous Martinsville Hot Dog of course! YUMMM! I'll have to do my homework on way their Hot Dog is so good but they just are. Even Drivers and Crews send over to bring them Dogs back to Pit Road.

As for Tailgating this place has it all. There is some First Come First Serve Camping Spots for rent and General Parking is FREE. There are many Private places to park and camp near the Track but they can be a tad pricey. Bring all yer Tailgating gear such as Horse Shoes, Grills, Food, Cooler and the whole shooten match.

If the Rain keeps the track from being used take a trip a few miles away to the Wood Brother Museum.

Don't blink or The Big One will happen and you'll be watching instant replay.
