Kahne, Vickers, Menard, and Allmendinger start in the top 6, while Johnson, Harvick and others start outside the top 15? I think the starting lineup will make this an interesting race. 5. Braindead Zombie posted: 04.01.2016 - 6:38 pm Rate this comment: (1) (3) Oops. Posted this on the wrong page. Just arrived in Martinsville for the weekend. There have been some flash storms and expected to be some more tonight, but it'll all be gone by tomorrow. However I expect that this will be enough of an excuse for NASCAR to throw competition cautions in both races. Looking forward to another great race weekend, its always a great experience coming here. 6.

Meanwhile, Jimmie Johnson starts 24th. Keeping the Jeff Gordon legacy with the #24 alive eh? 8.

After four straight races with 39 car fields the field is finally back to a full 40. Reed Sorenson makes his first Cup start of 2016 to fill the field in a plain black #55 Chevy, a second Premium Motorsports entry. Sorenson's on the grid but he's got to start shotgun on the field. 11.

And what 10 said about Fords is correct, but there's 4 Fords in the top-15, besides Joey. Why there's even some Roushskateers in that foursome. Guess Roush isn't a hopelessly fallen to crappy levels team after all. 13. Braindead Zombie posted: 04.01.2016 - 10:21 pm Rate this comment: (1) (0) "Guess Roush isn't a hopelessly fallen to crappy levels team after all." So in other words... you're admitting that we were all right and you were wrong last year when every comments section turned into a debate about whether Ba... er, Roush's problems were because of the equipment or the driver? 14. racefangurl posted: 04.01.2016 - 10:30 pm Rate this comment: (0) (3) 13, Roush was simply having a down time and is righting the ship. That line was aimed at those that said Roush was irreversibly declining and headed down the Robert Yates path. All the drivers average better this year, so far, than they did last year. The changes Roush made have given them speed in their cars again. They were crappy last year until the end, but are actually decent this year. 15.

Martinsville always makes for an entertaining show-gonna be especially interesting with top drivers such as Johnson, Harvick, and Junior starting way back while surprises such as Vickers, Menard, and Allmendinger start up in the front. Could be a lot of shuffling in the opening laps. Of course since it's Martinsville, I expect for there to be more than 10 yellow flags...let's just hope we don't see anything like the Kenseth/Logano incident today! 53.

He hasn't good performance with Rodden, so he may play a role in the issues. However, I can't say either way because I'm not a real big fan of Kahne.

If there is any correlation, it's because Martinsville is a slower track (much like how Road America and Montreal are/were among the slowest road courses). In Nascar, she has generally been at her best on slow tracks (excluding plate tracks). But Martinsville is no way in hell a "roval" (which is a term that I think is pretty silly and nonexistent and I usually hate when people use it - but if there is such thing as a "roval", oddly shaped ovals like Pocono and Phoenix are the best examples). 347. murb posted: 04.03.2016 - 4:28 pm Rate this comment: (1) (0) Jamie "David Reutimann" McMurray. 348. dennyfan11 posted: 04.03.2016 - 4:28 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Caution out for Jamie McMurray. 8th one of the day. 349.

That's how drivers such as Jeff Gordon, Rusty Wallace, Darrell Waltrip and others are so good at those tracks. Of course, it's not the case for everyone, whereas Denny is good at short tracks, he's just another Matt Kenseth type level of suck when it comes to road courses. It varies on the drivers really. Also I'd say Darlington is among the BEST track to determine who is really the best to be honest. David Pearson FTW. 363.

Braindead Zombie posted: 04.03.2016 - 7:49 pm Rate this comment: (1) (0) Okay, now that I'm settled in at the hotel: First off, very disappointed in the fan activities today. Yesterday there wasn't very much but I figured that was just because it was the truck series race and there would be more today. I was wrong. Usually they have this RC car thingy that the fans can race and it wasn't there this year. Actually, they didn't have anything set up for the fans other than merchandise, and the checkout line was HUGE. Heck, even the Buffalo Wild Wings stand that is always there wasn't there this year. But enough complaining. The race itself was pretty meh. I applaud NASCAR for not throwing any Jacques cautions all those times that the field got really strung out (although the Wise caution was kind of questionable, especially considering Danica was about to go a lap down and Junior was the free pass). No idea what happened to make Hamlin crash. It didn't look like he had a flat tire and nobody was anywhere near him. Did he just lose it? I wouldn't think so. What a great job by Dale Jr. coming up through the field after getting turned in the first few laps. Of course, he ended up finishing about ten spots behind where he probably would've had Greg Ives not channeled his inner Alan Gustafson and pitted him on the final caution. Danica actually looked competent out there for a little while, but then I guess she remembered that she's Danica Patrick, and she faded back to the end of the lead lap cars by the end of the race. Kyle Busch just had the best car today. Its as simple as that. Shame that that last caution came out though, Kenseth would've made it interesting up front, but I don't think he was going to get him. All in all, not one of my more favorite Martinsville races, and the fan experience today was a big disappointment. But I still had a good time, and I'm glad I went. 408. Jolly Mean Giant posted: 04.03.2016 - 8:34 pm Rate this comment: (2) (0) I was able to catch the end of the race at my job...and I would like to offer my overall thoughts: -Kyle Busch simply had the best car all day long. Like him or not, he definitely earned the win today. Pity the caution came out for McMurray spinning late, Kenseth was about to make things interesting when that happened... -How about Allmendinger in SECOND? This has got to be one of the best overall races of A. J.'s entire career. Started up front, ran in the top 10 virtually all race long, was able to mix it up with some of the top contenders, and was able to come out second. Like I said earlier...I wonder if other drivers will take whatever hat Mikey is wearing during his grid-walk in the hopes it might bring them a good run :D -Good comeback for Larson after the big crash at California two weeks ago. Top 10 virtually all race long as well, and moved up to 3rd by the finish. Maybe this could help get his season off the ground? We'll see... -So far, Austin Dillon HAS to be the leading candidate for Most Improved Driver of 2016. 4 top 10s and 2 top 5s already...phenomenal start to the year for him. Definitely looks like the start of a breakout season for him. I think I may honestly have underrated him as a driver... -Hell, shout-out to Menard and Vickers for getting top 10 runs as well. Nice to see some of the underdogs who started at the front of the field run there most of the day! -Junior probably would've gotten a top-5 finish if not for his decision to pit under the last caution. Also, HELLUVA drop for Kenseth and Harvick in those final stages. They went from solidly top-5 all race long to some of the last cars on the lead lap! -Again, I cannot say enough about how much of an improvement the new aero package is. It is nice to be able to see drivers be able to have an easier time making passes and moving up through the field than they did in years prior. NASCAR made the smartest decision it has in a while choosing this package over the one they used at Indy and the second Michigan race last year (oh GOD, this season would've been TERRIBLE so far if they'd chosen that package). Not the best race of the year, but nonetheless, it still managed to be a solidly entertaining one from start to finish, even if Martinsville was a bit more quiet today than normal (only 8 yellow flags). So far, it looks like we are on pace for a good season! Until the Chase comes along and leads to more angry, needless feuding thanks to the elimination format... 409.

You can also tell by the finishing order of this race, and Auto Club, where you had guys like Chase Elliott, Ricky Stenhouse Jr, AJ Allmendinger, Austin Dillon, and Brian Vickers who all ran solidly inside the top 10 in both of those races and weren't really expected to. It's going to be interesting to see how the Chase grid shakes out after Richmond, and hopefully the Chase doesn't cause a bad shift in what has been an otherwise solid season. 416.

A couple things caught my attention, Ryan Blaney made the list which is awesome, and if you need more proof how much Danica's stock has dropped in the last 3 years, she is not in the top 15. Kahne is 15th (last on the list), and he only has 128 mentions; meaning she possibly has less than 100 mentions of her name - that has to make that new sponsorship deal worth the money. 429.
