Two of the national NASCAR series are in action this weekend at Martinsville Speedway, along with a different racing series.

The historic short track will take center stage as NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour, O’Reilly Auto Parts Series, and Cup Series teams compete for wins and the signature grandfather clock trophy.

The Craftsman Truck Series teams will be off again this week after Corey Heim won at Darlington Raceway. They will return to action on April 3 at Rockingham Speedway.
