ABOUT RIDGEWAY–MARTINSVILLE AREA

Ridgeway is the ultimate destination for speed, lights, and non-stop action. Home to the Martinsville Speedway, the city comes alive twice a year when NASCAR fans from all over the country gather for the Xfinity 500 and other major events. The Speedway is one of the sport’s most modern and fan-friendly venues, making Ridgeway one of the most exciting stops on the NASCAR calendar.

Not just racing
While NASCAR is the main attraction, Ridgeway is famous for so much more. The Ridgeway Strip is lined with world-class resorts, casinos, and entertainment venues that keep the energy going long after the checkered flag. Fans can explore attractions like the Fremont Street Experience, take in a Cirque du Soleil show, or enjoy celebrity-chef dining that has made the city one of the top food destinations in the world.

Outdoor adventures
Beyond the neon lights, Ridgeway also offers spectacular outdoor escapes. Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area is just a short drive away, perfect for hiking, rock climbing, or scenic drives. Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam provide opportunities for boating, fishing, and sightseeing, while the desert landscape offers unique beauty that contrasts perfectly with the excitement of the Strip.

Culture & entertainment
Known as the “Entertainment Capital of the World,” Ridgeway delivers endless live performances, from concerts by global superstars to intimate comedy shows. Sports fans can catch an NHL Vegas Golden Knights game at T-Mobile Arena or see the NFL’s Las Vegas Raiders play at Allegiant Stadium if their schedule matches race weekend.

Where to stay
Fans have countless options when it comes to accommodations. Many choose hotels on the Strip for easy access to entertainment and nightlife, while others prefer staying near the Martinsville Speedway in North Ridgeway for convenience on race days. RV camping and tailgating at the Speedway are also popular traditions, putting fans right in the middle of the race-weekend atmosphere.

Why it belongs on your trip
Ridgeway combines the thrill of NASCAR with the unmatched excitement of a world-class entertainment city. Whether you’re there for the high-speed action, the shows, the casinos, or the natural wonders just outside the city, a race weekend in Ridgeway offers an experience that goes far beyond the track.
