On Friday night, Toyota will mark its 500th race in the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series in the Boys and Girls Club of the Blue Ridge 200 at Martinsville Speedway (7:30 p.m. ET on FS1, NRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).
In 499 previous races, Toyota drivers have claimed 236 combined victories, led by Kyle Busch with 56, Todd Bodine with 22 and Johnny Benson with 14.
Concord, NC (March 27, 2025) – It is one of the best stories of the year: a brand-new team, formed only months ago, outrunning some of NASCAR’s most established cars. That’s what’s happening right now with Ryan Preece and Roush Fenway Keselowski (RFK) Racing’s No. 60 team.
Although they’ve spent only six races together, RFK’s newest team has consistently been among the top competitors. Preece has led in three of the season’s first six races and has now strung together consecutive top-10 finishes.
Check out the NASCAR Cup, Xfinity and Craftsman Truck series paint schemes scheduled to race at Martinsville Speedway.
A busy three-race weekend for rising driver Luke Baldwin will bring him over 700 miles across the East Coast – nevermind over 400 laps on the track. Baldwin will compete in three different events at two different tracks – Martinsville Speedway and Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park – in both a Truck and a Modified.
Baldwin will drive three different cars in the three events.

In addition to ongoing support for RCR and Kyle Busch, Lucas Oil will provide aerial broadcast coverage for several NASCAR Cup Series races this season.
INDIANAPOLIS (March 25, 2025) – Lucas Oil, the leader in high-performance lubricants and a long-time partner of Richard Childress Racing (RCR), will serve as the primary sponsor of the No. 8 Chevrolet, driven by two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Busch, for multiple races throughout the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season, beginning at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway on March 30. Following that, the Lucas Oil colors will be seen at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City, June 15, and the Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway, September 13, the third race of the Cup Series Playoffs. (more…)
MOORESVILLE, N.C. (March 25, 2025) – Wrestling a racecar for 400 laps around Martinsville (Va.) Speedway necessitates a strong upper-body and powerful legs, connected with a tight core. The flat, paperclip-shaped .526-mile oval makes for a physical race where drivers have to pull their steering wheel hard to the left 800 times while stabbing their brake pedal at the end of each, 800-foot-long straightaway. Whether one’s car is lightning quick or could use a jolt of lightning, Martinsville pushes the boundaries of human performance as much as a car’s mechanical limits.
