NASCAR Martinsville full weekend schedule, TV schedule for Cup Series race

NASCAR continues the 2025 season with the first short-track race weekend of the season at Martinsville Speedway.

All three series are making the short trek to southern Virginia to compete on the half-mile paperclip oval, starting with the Craftsman Truck Series on Friday.

The Xfinity Series runs on Saturday, with the Cup Series competing in the Cook Out 400 on Sunday.

After a couple seasons of so-so short-track racing in the NextGen car, Sunday will be a barometer for the Cup Series with Bristol upcoming in a couple weeks.
