Goody's Fast Relief 500 Martinsville Speedway

Hey Ya all!!..I don't usually talk about the truck race, but since Harvick lead all but two laps and those were when he was in the pits, I feel I at least owe him a That a Boy!. Now about today's race, they were at Martinsville the "Paper clip", a very cool race track in that it is really two drag strips connected by corners and there is something about that, that makes it what racing is all about to me. It's cool to see a super speedway were they run wide open, that is what racing is all about also, but here they drag race like a thousand times during the race.. literary a 1000 times, and that is cool to watch. Not a lot of cautions but plenty of beating and banging, but Martinsville is a place you can get away with a little of that. I thought today's race was one of the best so far, Ryan Newman was in the right place at the right time to take the win, so hats off to him and Stewart Haas Racing. SHR maybe the team to beat this year, if the rest of the year goes as the beginning, they have won three races already, a heck of a start for any team. Jr had another good day finishing third and setting second in the points going into the Easter break.I know I say this every week, but a win has to be right around the corner..you know I have to be right sooner or latter. Kyle Bush brought out the first caution, that didn't hurt my feelings but know he won't be a lap car for long, because love him or hate him..he can drive like very few. Next week will be a off week end and than it's to Texas for the seasons first night race. I love Saturday Night racing so I'm looking forward to that. Hope everyone has a great Easter..see you in two weeks. Thanks for checking in to see what I thought of the racing today!
