The first short-track race of the NASCAR Sprint Cup season, the STP 500 at Martinsville Speedway on March 29, comes with an amazingly high excitement level and at an equally amazing low price. Tickets for the STP 500 begin at just $45 and family packages start at only $110. If past races at the .526-mile oval are any indication, the STP 500 will be full of edge-of-your-seat action and close racing. In last spring’s race there were 33 lead changes and 14 caution periods. Last fall’s Goody’s FAST Pain Relief 500 had perhaps the most exciting finish ever at Martinsville with Dale Earnhardt Jr. holding off Jeff Gordon to claim his first grandfather clock. Post-race fan surveys consistently show Martinsville Speedway events as some of the most popular on the circuit, not only in the quality of racing, but in affordability, staff friendliness and ticketing, among others. STP 500 tickets are remarkably affordable from top to bottom. While the entry level ticket is $45, the most expensive is just $85. Martinsville Speedway also offers two Family Four Pack packages.(Martinsville Speedway)(1-15-2015)
