After seven decades, historic Martinsville Speedway has “flipped the switch” with the conclusion of the “Light It Up Martinsville” project Thursday that made it the first major motorsports facility to install LED lights.
“Today is truly a historic day in the history of Martinsville Speedway,” Martinsville Speedway president Clay Campbell said in a statement. “This is a venue which has a long and storied past, but with these lights now in place, we’re looking forward to a bigger and better future — and certainly a brighter one.”
