Martinsville Was No Spoiler

I don’t know if the new spoiler had anything to do with it, but the Goody’s Fast Relief 500 at Martinsville was a great race.

NASCAR really cranked up the level of competition on this one.

Denny Hamlin was determined to win the race, and he earned the victory by driving through traffic with just a few laps remaining.

I expected Jimmie Johnson or Jeff Gordon to win the race. They have the best record there. And Jeff Gordon almost won the race on sheer luck. Another 100 feet before the caution and the race would have been Gordon’s

Kurt Busch had the winning car until his pit crew left a lug nut loose. He never regained from that mistake

What about you? Did you think the competition was cranked up a notch or two on this one?
