Two Test Dates For Virginia is for Racing Lovers 300

There will be more track time for Late Model drivers this fall.

For the first time Martinsville Speedway will be holding two open test dates prior to the Virginia is for Racing Lovers 300 NASCAR Late Model Stock race.

The first test date for the Virginia is for Racing Lovers 300 is Wednesday, September 15 with the second date a week later on Wednesday, September 22. The Virginia is for Racing Lovers 300 is scheduled for Sunday, October 3.

“With so many cars here for the test date the last few years, teams were getting less and less time on the track,” said Martinsville Speedway President W. Clay Campbell. “With two dates there should be fewer cars each day which should mean more track time for everybody.”

Teams will be allowed to test on both test dates.

Registration will begin at 7 a.m. on both September 15 and September 22 at the main ticket office. Haulers can begin staging the day before each test session.

Cars will be on-track from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day with an hour break at noon each day.

Pit passes for each test day are $25.

On the second test day, pit passes for the Virginia is for Racing Lovers 300 will be available for purchase. They are $50 for the entire weekend.

Anyone under 18 must have a NASCAR license to enter the pits for either test day. NASCAR licenses will be on sale at the track each test day. A parent must be present to sign a minor’s release form to purchase a NASCAR license during the registration process. No faxed or mailed releases will be accepted.

Tickets are $20 for adults, children 12-and-under are free for the Virginia is for Racing Lovers 300 on October 3. Fan gates will open at 9 a.m. on October 2 and 3. Tickets may be ordered by calling 1.877.RACE.TIX or visiting www.martinsvillespeedway.com.
