Martinsville Race Weekends Boost Local Economy by $170 Million, Claims Track President

Calling the race weekends "Martinsville's Super Bowl", President Clay Campbell said, "On race day alone, we employ about 2,000 people to put this show on." The economic impact stretches beyond the speedway. Per Campbell, businesses from Uptown Martinsville typically see more people walk through their doors. The race winner receives 'The Grandfather Clock', one of NASCAR's most coveted trophies.
