Wife and I were at Martinsville a few yrs ago, best race I ever seen. Johnson was on another planet but Jr. And Edwards put on a show all race for 2nd and 3rd. That's a tough track long fast straights and hair pin turns, they practically stop in the turns. They ran nose to tail the entire race and I don't think they ever touched, amazing. I think Jr won second, it proved to me he could drive, not sure what his deal is now though.

2nd is close,but.....

You may have the WINNER. Jimmie Johnson #48 was so close last week. This may be his break through weekend (to Win his first for the 2011). Can't wait for the Trucks and the Sunday (in the Lazy-Boy) afternoon NASCAR fix. Guess there may be some grass mowing going on somewhere.
To the WINNER who ever it is!!!!!
