The NASCAR Cup and Camping World Truck Series head to NASCAR’s shortest racetrack this weekend, Martinsville Speedway in southern Virginia.

Sunday’s race at the .526-mile paper clip-shaped oval is the first in the Round of 8 in the Cup playoffs. Jimmie Johnson won this race last year. Brad Keselowski won the April race. They both remain in title contention..

The Trucks compete in Saturday’s Texas Roadhouse 200, the first race in the Round of 6 playoffs. Johnny Sauter won last fall en route to his first Truck championship. Chase Elliott won in April.

The NASCAR Xfinity Series is off this weekend.
