Hubby and I are getting the RV ready to head to Martinsville at the end of the week and I am SOOOO excited. Probably too excited because I am neglecting things that ought to get done around here -- you know, like paperwork and cleaning and important stuff like that!
So I've been thinking - what is it about Martinsville that makes us so excited to go there? Here are my Top Three Reasons:
1. THE RACING!! At some tracks I find that I look forward to other things like the camping or the town, but at Martinsville it is all about the racing for me. Such a great little track with just enough 'old school' touches (like the train that runs right thru the property!) to appeal to the history lover in me. We've seen tons of rubbin' and racin' here as well as Denny's legendary burnout ...
a wreck or two ...
and of course I will NEVER FORGET the race in the Fall of 2015 when Matt Kenseth took out Joey Logano which resulted in Jeff Gordon's final trip to Victory Lane. The place went W-I-L-D!! (which is my way of saying I don't have a picture of that one - lol!!)
I can't wait to see what excitement this weekend's race will hold!!
2. THE "PAPERCLIP" - Short track racing at its finest! Such a cool place to watch a race! Short straight aways with little banking in the corners make this track so unique, especially when compared to the super speedways.
And you may have guessed what my #3 reason is ....
3. THE FOOD - I have to admit that I am not a big fan of the famous Martinsville hot dog, but there are lots of other goodies that you don't find at any other track I've been to ...
