NASCAR is ready for the upcoming race weekend at Martinsville Speedway. After running the short-track package at Darlington Raceway, NASCAR heads to Martinsville for its first short-track race of the year. However, when will NASCAR wave the green flags throughout the weekend?
The NASCAR O'Reilly Series starts off the weekend with a 3:35 p.m. ET green flag at Martinsville on The CW on Saturday. The O'Reilly Series typically races on Saturday as the second event of the weekend; however, the NASCAR Truck Series will not compete at Martinsville in the spring.
Finally, the NASCAR Cup Series race at Martinsville will be green at 3:41 p.m. on FS1 on Sunday. Martinsville is the first short-track race on the schedule and the excitement is through the roof. NASCAR is ready to throw the green flags at Martinsville, starting with the O'Reilly Series event on Saturday afternoon.
NASCAR took Carson Hocevar's No. 77 car to the R&D Center after the Cup Series race at Darlington Raceway. Following a strong run at Darlington, the sport had a closer inspection of Hocevar's vehicle; however, did the Spire Motorsports driver receive any penalties?
Hocevar's No. 77 car had no issues at the NASCAR R&D Center, which is the best result from further inspection. In previous years, NASCAR has found issues that cost a race team and driver over 100 points and more, so Hocevar receiving the green light is excellent news.
Going into Martinsville Speedway, Hocevar sits 13th in the point standings behind Ryan Preece with 20 races left in the NASCAR regular season. The driver of the No. 77 Chevrolet for Spire Motorsports hopes to carry his momentum into Martinsville, as the Chase bubble is already a topic of conversation in 2026.
