Sunday sellout for Martinsville Speedway

MARTINSVILLE, Va. — Martinsville Speedway announced its second straight sellout for the NASCAR Cup Series Xfinity 500.

Track officials announced the sellout just prior to the green flag.

This is the second year in a row the Xfinity 500 has sold out.

2023 is its fourth year as the last race before the Championship Four. Last year, Ross Chastain’s “Hail Melon” move in turns three and four overshadowed Christopher Bell’s walkoff win.

Martin Truex Jr. and Ty Gibbs will lead the field to the green flag, set for 2 p.m. ET on NBC, MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
