The 2011 Chase for the Sprint Cup moves on from the high banks of Talladega Superspeedway to the flat, half-mile Martinsville Speedway for this weekend’s Tums Fast Relief 500.
NASCAR At Martinsville Speedway: 2011 Chase Weekend Schedule
The championship picture grew a bit more narrow after last weekend’s race, with six drivers vying for the title with four races left in the season. Jimmie Johnson still has a mathematical shot at rejoining the championship battle, but will have to put poor finishes and recent controversies behind him to do so.
This weekend the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series joins the Sprint Cup Series at Martinsville, while the Nationwide Series has the weekend off.
Rain is a threat at Martinsville on Friday and Saturday, so keep in mind the weekend schedule is subject to change.
Here is a look at the schedule:
FRIDAY
11 a.m. - NASCAR Camping World Truck Series practice (1 hour, 20 minutes)
12:30 p.m. - NASCAR Sprint Cup Series practice (1 hour, 30 minutes)
2:10 p.m. - NASCAR Camping World Truck Series final practice (1 hour, 10 minutes)
3:30 p.m. - NASCAR Sprint Cup Series final practice (1 hour, 30 minutes)
