Posted April 3, 2014Prized NASCAR Ridgeway Martinsville grandfather clock model R2505 or 2505. According to the SB Nation dot com website, whomever wins a race at the legendary NASCAR Martinsville Speedway, a Grandfather clock is awaiting them in Victory Lane. The Ridgeway Martinsville Grandfather Clock is a trophy that has become one of the most recognizable and sought after in NASCAR. Dale Earnhardt Jr has high hopes and expectations for winning at Martinsville Raceway, just like his father did on 6 previous occasions.
But it was not meant to be. While Dale Earnhardt Jr reclaimed his #1 spot in the NASCAR power rankings. he finished 3rd in last Sunday’s race. So his quest for a Martinsville grandfather clock continues, as Earnhardt had neither the car nor the tires to contend with Kurt Busch and Jimmie Johnson for the win. But in a testament to the kind of season he has had so far, Earnhardt’s third-place effort Sunday was the fourth time he has finished third or better this year. That is impressive!
Our grandfather clock inquiry phone lines have been buzzing lately due to the NASCAR enthusiast and grandfather clock shoppers who are NASCAR fans and have been reading the press about Dale Earnhardt Jr, Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson, and the prized award of a Ridgeway Martinsville Grandfather Clock model R2505 for the winner of Sunday March 31 NASCAR Martinsville race.
NASCAR and the Ridgeway Grandfather Clock Company, which is nowadays a division of Howard Miller Clocks — and Howard Miller Grandfather Clocks are truly equivalent, with the grandfather clock cases being made in the same place in Michigan, and the same German mechanical movements made by Kieninger Clocks being used, aside from different styles, it is really only the name on the grandfather clock dial that makes the grandfather clock appear different in a meaningful way — have a long history of grandfather clocks and floor clocks being given as prizes to NASCAR Champions.
NASCAR, as many will know, stands for National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing. The Martinsville Speedway is an International Speedway Corporation-owned NASCAR stock car racing track located in Henry County, in Ridgeway, Virginia, just to the south of Martinsville. Many think Martinsville is NASCAR’s best track!
