Two years ago there were 31 lead changes in the Virginia 500. Last spring saw a three-way battle for the lead entering the first turn on lap 498 that ended up with Clint Bowyer, Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson spinning and Ryan Newman slipping through for the win. It was an incident that was talked about all season, and was a key reason behind Gordon's altercation with Bowyer at Phoenix in the next-to-last race of the season.

Ticket prices for the Virginia 500 start as low as $37. Tickets may be purchased by calling 877.RACE.TIX or by visiting www.martinsvillespeedway.com online.
