As part of its 70th anniversary celebration, Martinsville Speedway is offering fans a little something extra when they purchase a ticket to the STP 500 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race on April 2. Any fan who purchases the “Grandfather Clock Ticket Package” will receive a six-inch commemorative replica of the track’s iconic grandfather clock trophy.
The $70 ticket package includes a race ticket in select seat locations throughout the track and a voucher to be redeemed at the track to pick up the clock.
“Collectibles are as much a part of our sport as the drivers and cars and this is one you can’t get anywhere else” Martinsville Speedway President Clay Campbell said. “I think it’s something that NASCAR fans will want to add to their collections; something that is one of the most recognizable things not just at Martinsville but in all of racing.”
The “Grandfather Clock Ticket Package” will be available while supplies last or until January 31.
In addition, each person who purchases a ticket will be entered into the Fans 500 Sweepstakes, where one lucky ticket holder will receive the same grandfather clock trophy the winners take home*.
Racing returns to Martinsville Speedway for the STP 500 race weekend, March 31-April 2, 2017.
The weekend starts on Friday with Virginia Lottery Pole Day and continues on Saturday with the Alpha Energy Solutions 250 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Race.
The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series will be in action on Sunday with the running of the STP 500.
The race is the first short-track race of the season and marks the series’ return to the east coast after the “West Coast Swing.”
Last year Kyle Busch became the first driver in the tracks storied history to win both the Truck and Premier Series races in the same weekend.
