Clay Earles built one of NASCAR's first paved tracks at Martinsville in 1947. He always strived to improve the fan experience, & over the years he created one of the most beautiful facilities on the circuit. He was very proud of his azaleas planted on turn one & the manicured grass surrounding & inside the track. The real reason Clay installed curbing on the turns, was because he got tired of the cars cutting the corners & ruining his beautiful grass! 😂
