Martinsville reflections
Another short track sunday at Martinsville, tempers flare, brakes burn up, sheetmetal bends and Jeff Gordon proved again that he's a master of shorttracks. Tony Stewart dominated the day, leading the most laps, but in the last hundred laps his car lost a step and Jeff Gordon was able to use excellent strategy to take another win this season, and give Steve Letarte his first victory.
Rusty Wallace ran well in his last Martinsville start, but luck ran out with about 20 to go when he got punted on a restart and ended up finishing back in 19th with damage.
Denny Hamlin, running in the 11 car, had a great run again proving each and every week that he's probably the driver worthy of a shot next year in the cup series.
Looking forward to Atlanta, and the fact that Roush drivers have won the last race at all four of the tracks remaining on the schedule, I see the points race tightening up again, Maybe not from a competitor falling out of a race, but just from a roush driver walking away with a race. This is the time for Greg Biffle, the most consistent Roush driver to make his move and power to the front.
