With tensions and stressors already peaking with four races left in the season, a return trip to Martinsville is sure to raise those even more with the beating and banging that happens on the smallest track on the Cup schedule. Known as the Paperclip, simply because it looks like one, it’s a flat track with the only banking really being on the outer grooves of turns. It also has a unique feature, for a unique track, in that there are actual curbs on the inside of the turns that keeps the inside groove from trying to go too far down in the groove.
A track this small brings in some interesting things to consider. Pit road is tricky and is actually in two parts and that makes pit selection highly important. Lapping happens often at tracks this small as half the field was at least one lap down in the March race when all was said and done and that doesn’t count the middle of the race when guys couldn’t get laps back on late-race cautions. The position differentials are a key stat to look at as those that can bump and run the best are the ones that have the best position differentials in the field. There are also crazy restarts on tracks this small with 36-40 cars packed into a very tight space and nowhere to go. Expect the late-race runs to be key to final finishing order as several past races have been decided in the last few corners with moves made to pass the leader.

There have been 141 past Cup races at Martinsville and 73 of them have been won by those starting in the top-five starting spots with 21 Pole Winners winning the race, though the last one happened in 2013. Overall, 25 different spots have at least one winner and the furthest back was 36th. Every spot between first and 24th have won here as well but no one between 25th and 35th have registered a win.
Schedule of Events
This is a two-day show this week meaning both practices and qualifying are on Saturday morning for practices and afternoon for qualifying. The race is Sunday at 3 pm ET. Inspection should be Sunday morning meaning a first time fail loses the qualifying time and start in the rear, getting scored that way. The Podcast will be out Friday with the Playbook coming Saturday and the lineups being finalized Sunday morning.
*There is no Similar Track section this week since Martinsville doesn’t compare well to any other track or races.
