At least 68 cars will attempt to qualify for the richest and most prestigious Late Model Stock race of the season — the ValleyStar Credit Union 300 at Martinsville Speedway.
In addition to the venerable grandfather clock trophy, the winner will now be paid $32,000 — an increase of $7,000 from previous seasons.
The 2018 race saw 73 cars make a qualifying lap — meaning a decrease of five cars year-over-year.

Friday night time trials have replaced group qualifying for this year’s event. The top-20 will be locked into Saturday night’s main event and the rest of the field will be entered into one of two qualifying races in which the top-10 of each will advance.
That will make 40 starters for the Greatest Spectacle in Short Track Racing.
A new event format will see single car time trials replace group qualifying, a mandatory 50 lap to go competition caution and unlimited attempts at a green-white-checkered finish. The race will air live on FansChoice.TV and the Motor Racing Network.
