Following a demonstration run on Martinsville’s .526-mile paperclip-shaped oval, the brilliant orange and black-liveried car will be on display in VIRginia International Raceway’s tent at Martinsville. The car is coming off a top-ten finish at Homestead-Miami Speedway. The car races in the series enjoyed by several other NASCAR NEXTEL Cup drivers, including Tony Stewart, Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon and now-retired Rusty Wallace in their entries at the Rolex 24 at Daytona.

Last year’s VIR 400 was “probably the most exciting racing the track has seen,” said the track’s Kenny May. “The race came down to a last-lap, last-turn three-wide pass for the win, after racing all afternoon,” he added. The race was only decided in the approach to the final turn, making it the unofficial "pass of the year."

Fans can examine the car closely meet and the Finlay and VIR teams at Martinsville and again at the Grand-Am Rolex Series VIR 400 April 27-29. Tickets can be purchased for VIR’s major events online at Etix.com or in person at the gate.

Also on hand for the VIR400 weekend will be the open-wheeled racers from both the Skip Barber National Championship series and the Star Mazda Series. The SunTrust Moto ST Motorcycle Endurance Series adds its brand of two-wheeled exciting racing to the slate, making the weekend something for fans of all forms of motorsport.
