NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series at Martinsville (fall race)

1

Pickup truck races in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series has been held at Martinsville Speedway in Virginia during the fall since 2003, when the original Martinsville Trucks race that was originally held during the fall was moved to the spring in 1999. The 200-lap 105.2 mi race is currently known as Zip Buy Now, Pay Later 200 for sponsorship reasons. Christian Eckes is the race's defending winner.

History

Although winners of the NASCAR Cup Series races at Martinsville were given grandfather clocks in substitution of a race trophy, only the winners of the spring Truck Series race would also get a grandfather clock. That would change in 2010 as the winners of both Truck Series races at Martinsville got a grandfather clock. In the 2013 race, Bubba Wallace became the first African American to win in a Truck Series race in series history and the first African American driver since 1963 to win a race in any of NASCAR's three national series. He won back-to-back races at Martinsville when he drove his Kyle Busch Motorsports truck to the win in the 2014 fall Martinsville race. That year, his truck number was changed from No. 54 to No. 34 for this one race as a tribute to fellow African American driver Wendell Scott being inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame a few months later. The 2020 race was held at night and became the Truck Series' only annual visit to Martinsville. That year and in 2019, the NASCAR Hall of Fame was the title sponsor. United Rentals became the title sponsor of the fall Truck Series race at Martinsville in 2021, which was the last year the Truck Series held a race in the fall at the track. In 2022, the fall Truck Series race at Martinsville was moved to the spring and there was no fall Truck Series race at the track for the first time since 2002. The race returned in 2024 under the Zip Buy Now, Pay Later 200.
