WEATHER FORECAST

March in Ridgeway marks the transition from winter to spring, bringing cooler but generally pleasant conditions for NASCAR action at Martinsville Speedway. Afternoons are often comfortable, while mornings and evenings can still feel quite brisk, so dressing in layers is strongly recommended.

Average temperatures

• Daytime highs: typically mid-50s to upper-60s °F (13–20 °C)
• Nighttime lows: usually upper-30s to mid-40s °F (3–7 °C)

Weather conditions

Early spring weather can be variable. Expect a mix of sunshine and passing clouds, with temperatures sometimes shifting quickly during the day. The air is usually fresh rather than humid, but a jacket or hoodie is advisable, especially if you’re seated in the grandstands for long periods.

Rain possibility

March can bring occasional showers, with rainfall slightly more frequent than in autumn. Heavy rain is uncommon, but having a poncho or waterproof layer is a sensible precaution.

Wind

Light to moderate breezes are typical, generally around 5–12 mph (8–20 km/h). Cool winds can make the temperature feel lower, particularly in exposed seating areas, so wind-resistant clothing can improve comfort.
