Martinsville Fast Facts

  • The 2012 Tum’s Fast Relief 500 will be the 128th Cup Series race held at Martinsville Speedway.
  •  There have only been 47 different winners and 57 have won the pole. Watch for drivers with a track-record here.
  • 19 drivers have won from the first starting position and Denny Hamlin was the last to do it in the last race here, back in October 2010.
  • Jeff Gordon leads active drivers with seven wins and seven poles. Richard Petty won here 15 times and Darrell Waltrip has eight career poles.
  • Gordon has 25 Top Fives and 31 Top Tens. Petty had 30 and 37 respectively.
  • Gordon has led 3423 laps while Cale Yarborough led 3851.
  • The most amazing stat of all – to me at least – is that Gordon has never had a DNF at Martinsville. That’s in 39 races so far, and the best of all-time.
  • Petty is the youngest Martinsville winner. He was 22 years, 9 months and 8 days old when he won the race on 4/10/1960. Harry Gant was 51 years, 8 months and 12 days old when he won on 9/22/1991.
  • Martinsville Speedway is one three tracks that we class as Short Tracks in the On Pit Row stats. Look at the stats for the others – Bristol and Richmond. But take a look at the stats for New Hampshire Motor Speedway too. It is longer, but the flat configuration and similar turns compare with Martinsville.
