The Truck and Xfinity Series will be in action Friday at Martinsville Speedway as the first short track of the 2025 season opens for business.
The trucks will practice, qualify and race on the 0.526-mile oval with the green flag falling around 7:30 p.m. ET.
From 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. ET, the Xfinity Series will practice and qualify for Saturday’s race.
This is the first of two annual NASCAR tripleheader event weekends at Martinsville Speedway.
Last year, there were twin sweeps at Martinsville in the Xfinity and Truck Series. Aric Almirola won both Xfinity races, and Christian Eckes triumphed in both Truck events. There will be a new winner in the Truck race at Martinsville as Eckes has moved up to Xfinity this season and is absent from the truck entry list.
