RFP: Project Manager and Event Consultant for Martinsville Speedway 80th Anniversary Race Season

The West Piedmont Planning District Commission is seeking qualified individuals or firms to provide professional assistance for the 2027 season celebrations marking the 80th anniversary of Martinsville Speedway and the 250th anniversary of Henry County. The solicitation, identified as RFP-130413, offers two distinct roles: a Crew Chief to serve as Project Manager and a Track Manager to act as an Event Consultant. The Crew Chief will focus on overall project management, partner engagement, and sponsorship support, while the Track Manager will handle technical event planning, site logistics, and operational safety. Proposers may apply for one or both roles, provided they submit separate scope narratives and pricing for each. The engagement is expected to last 18 months, beginning in late 2026 and continuing through the post-event closeout of the 2027 initiative. While some work can be performed remotely, a regular on-site presence in the Martinsville-Henry County area is required for key meetings and events. The anticipated budget for the initiative is 345,000 dollars, and proposers must specify whether their pricing is fixed fee, hourly, or a hybrid model. Proposals must be submitted in PDF format to info@mhcchamber.com, with the review process scheduled to begin on November 12, 2026. Evaluation will be based on a weighted matrix scoring personnel qualifications and experience from 1 to 5, and short-listed candidates may be invited for interviews.
