[/media-credit]MARTINSVILLE, Va. (May 1, 2012) – In an attempt to help streamline its presence on Twitter, Martinsville Speedway has adopted a new handle for the social media platform. Beginning immediately Martinsville Speedway’s Twitter handle is @MartinsvilleSwy, moving away from @ms1947.
The name change does not affect anyone already following Martinsville Speedway on Twitter as the new handle is automatically swapped out for the old.
The change was made to help highlight the track’s name, and to make the handle more discernable in timelines and easier for users to type.
