I’m guessing that this Martinsville race will be a lot different from the 2020 Fall race!— Even so —short track racing is always exciting!— and under the lights! All for a clock!
What's the use of going if its to be in the pink Floyd "the wall" video.
I got refunds for my tickets because of that same rules crap.not to martinsville but closer tracks to me.

That’s what these tickets were from last year, I was hoping that we wouldn’t still be on lockdown, calling for rain Friday,Saturday and Sunday
I had chicago tickets last year I got refunds because they tearing that track up for housing.

Too bad they're not ready to use the rain tire. https://www.jayski.com/2021/04/06/nascar-to-test-rain-tires-at-martinsville/

I have no idea. However, the lock time is 12:00 am. Which is not noon, it is midnight, correct?

Even earlier than my misinterpretation then.
I fixed my post. Thanks for letting me know the error.

Kinda looks like some kind of remnant from last week when we at least were supposed to see qualifying.

That could be Rusty. Needs a tweak from the "Nascar Geek", I guess.
But even so, I don't think lock for the Q race was 12 am either. Oh well, hope it's adjusted.

If you look at the lock time for all of the future races they're set by default at 12:00am the day of the race. Apparently Darren has to manually set the lock time to coordinate with the advertised start of the race. I just sent him an email... hopefully it will be fixed.That could be Rusty. Needs a tweak from the "Nascar Geek", I guess.

My personal thought on rain tires is that they would work better on the flatter tracks than the bank tracks

The wet tires for short, flat ovals won't be used, if at all, until likely Loudon in the summer at the earliest. They don't have them this weekend. For those asking, I don't have info on any plans as far as times if race is postponed to Sunday.
