The Virginia Department of Transporation (VDOT)  recommends that Martinsville race fans                     follow the signs to reduce the traffic congestion at the Martinsville Speedway

"Race fans traveling to the Martinsville Speedway this weekend for the Kroger
200/TUMS Quik Pak 500 should follow recommended traffic patterns as posted
on signs and message boards. Traffic is being routed to the speedway in
certain patterns in order to minimize overall congestion as much as
possible."

* From Roanoke and areas north of Martinsville: Race fans traveling south
on Route 220 are asked to take the exit onto Route 58 to Martinsville to
reach the track.

* From Danville and areas east of Martinsville: Motorists on the Route 58
Bypass should follow signs directing them to use the track's back gate. This
entrance is located off the bypass, east of the track.

* From Greensboro and areas south of Martinsville: Route 220 northbound
traffic will split into three lanes shortly before reaching the speedway.
Motorists should watch for electronic message boards, obey all police
directing traffic and tune into highway advisory radio for parking
directions. All through traffic should use the left lane.

* From Stuart and areas west of Martinsville: Motorists should stay on
Route 58 east and follow signs and message boards to the track.

Many signs and changeable message boards will be placed throughout the
region by the Virginia Department of Transportation to assist visitors and
race fans. As drivers approach the Martinsville area, they can listen to
VDOT's Highway Advisory Radio on AM 1610 for detailed traffic information.

Vehicular and pedestrian traffic will be heavy. Those attending the race
should closely follow directional information and plan to arrive early.
