Ah, Martinsville, reminds of the old Saturday night short track races. Should be a lot of banging going on in this one. I'll go out on a limb here and pick Schrader to surprise all and come home with the checkers.
Josh, I agree with you about Ward's voice, very unique sound.

Dan.
 
Sprague takes the Craftsman truck race, tons of cautions but gotta expect that at Martinsville, too hard to get out of the way. Benson should gain a little on leader Todd Bodine who finished 14th. Benson was in the top five.
Thanks.
Dan.

Josh , do you think Hamlin's crew chief told him to cool it after he nudged Johnson. Better to finish second and move up in points then take the risk of being black flagged for being too aggressive. He didn't have the power to catch the #48 with his car missing, still a darn good run on 7 cylinders.
Dan.
 
Could be.... I don't think Hamlin had enough and the only way he could pass Jimmie was with the bump n run. Would have loved to see him spin him to win.

My question what the hell was Jr. thinking. Had a top 10 and would have only been about 40 or so points out of first. Gits greedy and spins..

At least when JR. was interviewed he said he messed up and got greedy, took the full blame himself as he should have. Man, loads of cautions, sure takes your concentration level away with all the slow downs.

Josh, shoot me your wantlists in a PM, I'll take them to the Expo with me, see if I can come up with anything for you.

Thanks again.
