NASCAR Martinsville

NASCAR MARTINSVILLE: Regardless of who your colors and allegiance are with, what's certain in auto racing, particularly with NASCAR, is that a short track like Martinsville Speedway brings out the best of a driver (or the worst). Sheer determination, fearlessness, and tenacity are some of the qualities separating the winner from his combatants on the field of play, especially at a cereal bowl-like facility like this charter track of stock car racing.Monday's Goody Fast Pain Relief 500 was nothing short on the excitement factor, with two former Sprint Cup champions tangling near the race's finish, opening the door for aggressive and title favorite Denny Hamlin to grab his first victory this season.
NASCAR MARTINSVILLE:How it all unfolded was probably as memorable as the finish itself. Kyle Busch, who pitted with his teammate Hamlin down the stretch, got loose and spun out near the outside retaining wall on lap 498. Busch's incident incited some controversy, mainly with the NASCAR officials throwing the caution flag within the window for "Overtime," shootout-style restart.
