Now in its 30th year as the finale of the Virginia Triple Crown, the event has outgrown its roots to become a true short track spectacle. President Clay Campbell calls it “a brand of its own,” with a decade of ValleyStar’s title sponsorship behind it; the stage is bigger than ever. And to add to that spotlight, a comeback story built for Martinsville’s iconic half-mile stage is underway. Watch What’s Trending Now! Speaking to Matt Weaver, Peyton Sellers revealed that his crew will do everything in their power to snag a win there: “Momentum is momentum. Our cars are working very well. They’re turning well. We just got to adapt to Martinsville, to the, you know, the tire. This will be the first time we’ve taken this tire there, so we’ll have to make some adjustments in practice for that, but at the end of the day, I feel very confident going into it because our car did run so well at South Boston toward the end of the year. I think we got a lot of momentum going into it right now for us.” In a dramatic winner-take-all finale at South Boston Speedway on September 8, Peyton Sellers captured the 100-lap Sentara Health Late Model Stock Car Division race and clinched the track championship during Sunday’s Halifax County Farm Bureau championship night. The victory capped off one of the closest points battles in the speedway’s storied history. ADVERTISEMENT
