Welcome slot car race fans to Monster Hobbies 1/32 scale Carrera Digital Slot Car League - 1957-1960 NASCAR Martinville Speedway - Race #4

Martinsville Speedway is an International Speedway Corporation-owned NASCAR stock car racing short track in Ridgeway, Virginia, just south of Martinsville. At 0.526 miles (847 m) in length, it is the shortest track in the NASCAR Cup Series. The track was also one of the first paved oval tracks in NASCAR, being built in 1947 by partners H. Clay Earles, Henry Lawrence and Sam Rice. It is also the only race track that has been on the NASCAR circuit from its beginning in 1948. Along with this, Martinsville is the only NASCAR oval track on the NASCAR track circuit to have asphalt surfaces on the straightaways, then concrete to cover the turns. - From Wikipedia
