* Construction Underway On New Infield Care Center At Martinsville Speedway: The infield area at Martinsville Speedway will have a new look when the NASCAR Winston Cup tour makes its spring visit for the Virginia 500. A new Infield Care Center and Victory Lane are being constructed in the first-and-second turn end of the infield. The area that formerly housed the Infield Care Center is being converted into a work area for team public relations representatives. That area will also have two radio production and transmission booths. The project will be completed in time for the running of the Virginia 500 on Sunday, April 13. The interior of the new Infield Care Center will be approximately 2,000 square feet and will include a four-bed examination area, a two-bed trauma area, a waiting room, a family waiting room, a lounge and a reception area. The new Victory Lane will be constructed adjacent to the Infield Care Center and will face the front stretch. The old Infield Care Center, located in the complex of buildings in the middle of the infield, is undergoing a total facelift to accommodate team public relations reps and radio broadcasters. A countertop will circle more than half of the 450 square foot room, giving the public relations representatives a work area to set up. Each workspace will include electrical outlets and phone jacks. There will also be two, soundproof radio booths in the area to provide the many radio outlets covering Martinsville Speedway events an area to produce and file stories. These rooms will also include a countertop workstation, electrical outlets and phone jacks.(Martinsville Speedway)(1-8-2003)
