Watching the race in Martinsville... from home...

Rain delay, Car of Tomorrow, and team relationships all came into play today as NASCAR visited the World's Fastest Paperclip, Martinsville, Virginia. There was even an in-car non-fire! NASCAR has clearly stated that the foam in the door will NOT burn... but something was sure smoking in Kevin Harvick's car. Fortunately, men were standing by with non-fire extinguishers to make it stop.

Anyway, today I faced the Overdue team and was sorely pressed until pit strategy gave me the advantage that lasted to the finish.

At the finish, Jimmie Johnson finished first, Jeff Burton finished sixth, and Kyle Busch finished third. Juan Pablo Montoya, still on my bench, sixteenth.
