Martinsville Speedway, NASCAR, IMSA, the Mazda MX-5 Cup Series and its Drivers thought running a race on an oval for this series that has only ever run road courses might be a good idea.
So they decided to bring the cars to the half mile paperclip oval for a two-day test. The drivers testing were several of the series regulars but a few special guests also. Dale Earnhardt Jr. took about a dozen laps, Bobby Labonte and Martinsvillle Track President, Clay Campbell also jumped in to practice these convertible stock cars.
I chatted with Dale Jr, Clay Campbell, Bobby Labonte and team owner/driver, Chad McCumbee about how this all came together and why it could and should become a reality at Martinsville Speedway.
