With five straight front row starts, including tying a track record with three consecutive poles, not to mention the track qualifying record, it’s safe to say that Joey Logano knows a thing or two about getting around Martinsville Speedway.
The Team Penske driver, who also visited Victory Lane at Martinsville in the Camping World Truck Series, is the first driver to sign on to take part in an emceed question-and-answer session during the Green Flag Experience prior to the Old Dominion 500 at the historic half-mile Speedway on October 29.
“When it comes to putting big names in the Green Flag Experience, Joey Logano meets all of the criteria,” Martinsville Speedway President Clay Campbell said. “He’s a proven winner, he drives for an iconic team, he knows how to get around Martinsville Speedway and, most importantly, he’s instantly recognized by our fans.”
In addition to his Martinsville success, Logano is an 18-time winner in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series and was the series’ 2009 Rookie of the Year.
Additional drivers taking part in the Green Flag Experience will be announced in the coming weeks.
The Green Flag Experience also gives fans the chance to watch driver introductions from the track, along with a morning full of fun and excitement on the track and under the large tent in The Plaza, located on the hill behind the souvenir display area.
In addition to the emceed question-and-answer sessions, the Green Flag Experience offers fans the opportunity to walk the frontstretch on race morning, sign the start/finish line, a photo opportunity in mock Victory Lane, enjoy music, games and prizes along with doughnuts, Danishes, coffee and juice.
The cost of the Green Flag Experience is $50 for adults and $30 for youth 12-and-under.
Prices for the Green Flag Experience increase on March 1.
The driver question-and-answer sessions, food, music, games and prizes, and show cars will be held in The Plaza from 8:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. The track walk will be open from 9:15 a.m. – 11:15 and will open again at 1:00 pm and remain open through the conclusion of Driver Introductions.
