The half-mile's fall weekend, the last stop before the championship race, with roaming water and pump trucks in camp.
What you need to know
Martinsville Fall Race Weekend 2026 runs Oct 30 – Nov 1, 2026, in Ridgeway, Virginia. Carry cash for the water and pump-out trucks: they come to your site, which beats hauling tanks to a dump station, and the service is cash only.
Martinsville Speedway's fall weekend runs Friday, October 30 through Sunday, November 1, and the track sells it as the final race before the field heads to Homestead: the last chance to gain points before the championship is decided.
When we checked on September 25, most of the speedway's reserved camping sections carried sold-out labels, while general admission camping, grass sites with no hookups, was still listed. What makes a no-hookup weekend workable here is the service fleet: a propane partner fills tanks on site, and non-potable water and pump-out trucks roam the campgrounds from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., cash only, stopping when you wave a driver down. Plan the drive home too. After the race the speedway holds campground traffic for about two hours so the crowd can cross the railroad tracks safely, and campers leave by turning left toward Business 220.
Safety rules and an insider tip
Safety + legal. Quiet hours in the speedway's campgrounds run from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m., generator and heater exhaust has to point up and away from every vehicle, and dumping wastewater on the ground gets campers ejected.
Insider tip. Carry cash for the water and pump-out trucks: they come to your site, which beats hauling tanks to a dump station, and the service is cash only.
