NASCAR: The Most Successful Driver At Each Active Track

Martinsville – Richard Petty

• Wins: 15
• Top 5’s: 30
• Top 10’s: 37
• Laps Led: 2,823
• Poles: 2

Making another appearance on the list is Richard Petty. He had his most dominant streak at Martinsville from 1967-1973, when he won 10 out of 13 races at the track, five in a row at one point.

He had some pretty ridiculous days there, leading lap totals of 240, 247, 284 and 324. However, he had his best day at Martinsville back in 1970 when he led 480 out of 500 laps.

Petty has blown away the rest of the competition at Martinsville and set many records that will not be broken for quite some time. The only driver relatively close to his stats is Jeff Gordon, who ended with the same amount of top-10’s and just one less top-5, but even he is six wins behind Petty.
