Race fans driving to and from Martinsville Speedway for the First Data 500 race on Sunday, October 29, are encouraged to follow recommended traffic patterns as posted on signs and message boards, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT).

The agency will place many signs and changeable message boards throughout the region to assist travelers. Vehicular and pedestrian traffic will be heavy. Those attending should closely follow directional information, plan to arrive early and expect heavy traffic and delays.

Traffic will be routed to the speedway in certain patterns to minimize overall congestion as much as possible.

Watch for the speed limit to reduce gradually from 65 mph to 35 mph on the U.S. 220/U.S. 58 Bypass as you approach the speedway.

VDOT recommends the following routes:

From Stuart and areas west of Martinsville – Motorists should stay on U.S. 58 east and follow signs and message boards to the track.

From Roanoke and areas north of Martinsville – Race fans traveling south on U.S.220 can take the exit onto U.S. 58 to Martinsville to reach the track or they can continue on the U.S. 220/ U.S. 58 Bypass past the speedway interchange and turn right onto the access road that leads into the speedway.  The entrance is located one mile east of the U.S. 220 interchange and may provide easier access. Signs are in place designating the entrance to the speedway.

From Danville and areas east of Martinsville – Motorists on the U.S. 58 Bypass should follow signs directing them to use the track’s back gate. This entrance is located off the bypass, east of the track.

From Greensboro and areas south of Martinsville – U.S. 220 northbound traffic will split into three lanes shortly before reaching the speedway.  Motorists should watch for electronic message boards and obey police directing traffic. Through traffic should use the left lane.

ADA Parking – Race fans needing ADA Parking are encouraged to enter the Speedway via Old Sand Road.
