At 11:30 Fox Sports broadcasts the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup race from the “Paperclip,” or Martinsville Speedway. The race is a test of patience and saving the car but that doesn’t always happen so it can be an action packed event.
That’s it for this weekend, if you have a chance please get out and go see a live race. There is nothing like it and your support means a lot to our local tracks and the racers.
OTHER RACING NEWS:
- The report about our first motocross race of the season has been delayed. BBMX has switched to a transponder scoring system and, as expected, there were a few problems that held up getting the results out. As a result the report should be out Thursday or Friday morning.
