MARTINSVILLE SPEEDWAY ANNOUNCES TRADITIONAL SPRING, FALL SPRINT CUP RACES

MARTINSVILLE, VA (August 19, 2008) – Martinsville Speedway officials today announced the historic track’s 2009 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series schedule which includes the track’s traditional spring and fall events.

The Goody’s Cool Orange 500 is scheduled for Sunday, March 29 and the TUMS QuikPak 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup race is set for Sunday, October 25.

“We think once again we have a great Sprint Cup schedule for our fans. The season is just getting good and exciting for the spring event, and of course, in the fall, our race is again in the Chase for the Sprint Cup,” said Martinsville Speedway president Clay Campbell. “We think our 2009 dates are about as good as it gets.”

The Goody’s Cool Orange 500 will be the sixth race of the 2009 season while the fall event will be the sixth stop in the Chase for the Sprint Cup. And once again, Martinsville Speedway will be the only short-track stop in the Chase.

“Being the only short-track race in the Chase is a big deal,” said Campbell. “It adds a lot of extra excitement for our fans.”

Again in 2009, both of Martinsville Speedway’s Sprint Cup events will be preceded by a NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race on Saturday. And again, Kroger will be the sponsor of both of those events. The Kroger 250 will be held on Saturday, March 28 and the Kroger 200 on Saturday, October 24.
