“Martinsville is probably my favorite oval track to race on. I have always enjoyed the rhythm of that track. It’s going to be a tough race, because anything can happen on a late-race restart, and you’re always amongst traffic. It’s mentally and physically challenging, but I have always enjoyed it. We are in the Dash 4 Cash again this week, and this is probably one of the best tracks we have a shot at it on the Xfinity side. Richmond was not great for us on the Cup side, but we are planning on trying some new stuff at Martinsville. This is one of the best places I can go to learn the new car some more.”
– AJ Allmendinger on Martinsville Speedway

Justin Haley, No. 31 LeafFilter Gutter Protection Camaro ZL1

Haley has led one lap in the 2022 NCS season (Atlanta)

“I’m really looking forward to getting to Martinsville, a place I have typically had some success at in the past. I think this is a place that will feel similar to the LA Coliseum, which I really enjoyed racing at. We had some really good speed there. We definitely have some things to improve on after Richmond, so I’m looking forward to getting to work at another short track.”
– Justin Haley on Martinsville Speedway

“The majority of us in the field grew up on short track racing at tracks just like Martinsville. Night races at tracks like this bring a certain vibe and electricity that I really enjoy. Martinsville was a track I always felt like I struggled at for many years, but during my first cup series season in 2019, I felt like I found something. I had top-five finishes in both starts there last year, so I’m excited to lean on my teammates and continue moving in the right direction.”
