Description

The Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500 marks the 1st night race hosted by Martinsville Speedway in Cup Series history. The .5-mile oval located in Martinsville, Virginia has a unique racing surface with asphalt on the straightaways and concrete in the turns. With only 12 degrees of banking in the turns and 0 degrees of banking on the straightaways, drivers face a unique challenge at this track. Hall of Fame driver, Richard Petty is known as one of the most successful drivers at this track, with 67 starts and 15 wins. The track first opened in 1947, the Cup Series held its inaugural race in 49′ and Red Byron won.

Martin Truex Jr. passed Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Denny Hamlin on Lap 485 of Sunday‘s rain-delayed Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500 at Martinsville Speedway and pulled away to win for the third time in his last four starts at the .526-mile short track.
