Drivers must be able to manage and maintain their equipment. With the long straightaways and tight corners, racing at Martinsville can be very hard on brakes. Rationing your brakes is a key to success. Martinsville races can put a lot of wear and tear on drive line equipment. Whoever does the best job of taking care of their equipment has a good chance to be in the hunt at the end of the race.
Avoid getting caught up in individual battles. A driver has to realize they are going to get bumped and pushed around during a Martinsville race. It’s inevitable. They must put all that aside and focus on the big picture – and that’s keeping your car intact and putting yourself in a position to win at the end.
