Martinsville delivered one hell of a race last weekend. It started in the daylight and ended under the lights. The race was competitive throughout, for the most part. And the ending was every bit of what we could have hoped for....except for Kyle Busch winning. Denny Hamlin made a bonehead move by dumping Chase Elliott in the closing laps. That definitely will not win him any fans. And I can guarantee you that Chase will not forget that one easily with the last few races to go. I'm pretty sure he gained some fans last weekend but would have gained even more if he had at least gave ol Hamlin a shove or something when they were jawing after the race!
As for the finish, it looked like Truex would be able to pull Busch at the finish line to get his first short track win of his NASCAR career, but fell just a little bit short. Truex is still the clear favorite to win the cup this year and I expect to see him dominate this weekend as they head to Texas; another track that caters to his driving style.
Our first place man in the pool is gaining a little bit of a lead with 3 races to go. Tighten up and hang on everyone. I feel like these last 3 races are going to get interesting!
