All three national NASCAR series take on some good, old-fashioned short-track racing this weekend at Martinsville Speedway.
Craftsman Truck Series teams will kick off the weekend with a Friday night race at the historic track. Xfinity Series teams will then race Saturday evening as Aric Almirola tries to win his third consecutive race at Martinsville. The veteran driver swept the Martinsville Xfinity races last season.
Cup Series teams will cap off the weekend with Sunday afternoon's 400-lap event.
