The 2022 NASCAR Cup Series is underway, and the Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 400 is set to be held at the Martinsville Raceway on Saturday, April 9. The race will start at 7:30 pm ET and will be broadcast on FOX and MRN.
The venue will host its 3rd night race in the event's history and is the second consecutive short track race of the 2022 season. Additionally, there will be a qualifying session for this race, which will get started at 5:05 pm ET on Friday and can be seen on FS1.
The 2022 season saw a peak in viewership in the first seven races. Last week, the Toyota Owners 400 brought in 3,958,000 viewers and 284,000 tuned in for Saturday’s qualifying race. It drew a 2.30 in the ratings. While the previous Xfinity Series race had 833,000 viewers and hopes to continue the trend, that number is expected to rise further this weekend as well at Martinsville Speedway.
Saturday's race will consist of 36-drivers who will compete against one another for 300-laps of the 0.526-mile-long track, the shortest in the 2022 schedule.
Joe Gibbs Racing team driver Martin Truex Jr. won the last two years’ Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 400.
So far, the NASCAR Cup Series has seen seven different winners in seven races and with the start of the Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 400, all drivers will be hungrier to win.
