Every Late Model Stock competitor in the Southeast has one event circled on their calendar every year; the ValleyStar Credit Union 300 at Martinsville Speedway.
The event has served as the discipline’s equivalent to the Daytona 500 since its inaugural running in 1995. Each running regularly attracts more than 70 competitors from across the region and beyond with the goal of claiming a prestigious grandfather clock.
Previous winners of the ValleyStar Credit Union 300 comprise Late Model Stock legends and drivers who would later progress into one of NASCAR’s national touring divisions. That list includes Timothy Peters, Dennis Setzer, Lee Pulliam, Peyton Sellers, Philip Morris and Josh Berry, among others.
For a select few on the entry list, the Virginia Late Model Triple Crown is also up for grabs at Martinsville on Saturday evening. Earning a grandfather clock and/or Virginia Triple Crown will require drivers to survive the unpredictability the ValleyStar Credit Union 30o brings and shine under the lights on Late Model Stock racing’s biggest stage.
Below is everything to know about the 2025 ValleyStar Credit Union 300.

Race format
The field for Saturday’s ValleyStar Credit Union 300 will be set by a combination of qualifying and the four 25-lap qualifying races. Competitors will first qualify on Friday evening, with the fastest qualifier earning a $5,000 bonus.
Connor Hall and Matt Waltz are the only two drivers locked into the ValleyStar Credit Union 300. They earned their starting positions by winning the Thunder Road Harley-Davidson 200 at South Boston Speedway and Hampton Heat at Langley Speedway, respectively. Hall was the winner at South Boston, while Waltz won at Langley.
Starting positions for the 40-car field are determined by the qualifiers. The top 10 finishers in each qualifying race will secure a place in the ValleyStar Credit Union 300. There will not be a last chance qualifier.
If Hall and Waltz fail to race their way in, the first two qualifying races will have 10 transfers into the feature with the last two only having nine. Should only one of those two not finish top 10 in their respective qualifier, just the fourth qualifying race will have nine available transfer spots.The 200-lap feature race includes three segments: 100 laps, 75 laps and 25 laps. Each segment winner receives a $1,000 bonus.
In the ValleyStar Credit Union 300 feature, the leader of each lap receives $25, with $5,000 available in the laps led bonus pool. If the race extends beyond the scheduled distance, there will be unlimited attempts at a green-white-checkered finish. The winner also takes home a $32,000 paycheck to go along with a grandfather clock.

The current entry list for the ValleyStar Credit Union 300 features 74 cars.
Headlining the stacked group of competitors is Connor Hall, who currently leads the Virginia Triple Crown point standings with an average finish of 1.5. A two-time NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series National champion, Hall is still searching for his first ValleyStar Credit Union 300 win, with his best finish being a 12th-place effort in 2022.
Joining Hall on the JR Motorsports roster for Martinsville is Caden Kvapil, the younger brother of 2024 ValleyStar Credit Union 300 winner Carson Kvapil. Caden has competed in a handful of Late Model Stock events for JR Motorsports throughout 2025, but will look to make a strong impression in his maiden ValleyStar Credit Union 300 appearance.
Four-time NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series National champion Lee Pulliam returns to Martinsville after finishing 13th last year, which was his first Late Model Stock race since 2020. The car Pulliam is driving in the ValleyStar Credit Union 300 this year will resembles the one he drove during his first of two Martinsville triumphs in 2012.
Pulliam is one of six former winners on the 2025 ValleyStar Credit Union 300 entry list. The other previous Martinsville victors joining Pulliam at the track this weekend are Peyton Sellers, Trevor Ward, Landon Pembelton, Mike Looney and Jake Crum.
Reigning NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series champion Ty Majeski is utilizing the off weekend to make his second ValleyStar Credit Union 300 start after his first attempt in 2022 ended behind the wall. Majeski is teaming up with Chad Bryant Racing on Saturday, the same organization he earned two consecutive South Carolina 400 victories with in 2020 and 2021.
Other names set to battle for a grandfather clock at Martinsville include Bobby McCarty, Matt Waltz, Landon Huffman, Ronnie Bassett Jr., Doug Barnes Jr., Tate Fogleman, Tristan McKee, Max Reaves and Carson Loftin.
