Denny Hamlin still leading by eight tenths of the second with a great start then with a -- flag falls check out foxsports.com. All weekend long. Exclusive columns of videos from the NASCAR on fox game and -- weekly chat this Friday deep W. -- about all things NASCAR. Can't stay connected with -- our Twitter feed. Twitter.com slash. NASCAR on five.

She had called me on Friday. Available when we were tweaked right now -- his -- Johnson and have 48 car is really in his teammate Jeff Gordon is the battle for second. In the meanwhile Danny Hamlin eleven -- pulled out about a three quarter secondly there you see it right there with two cars in between him and what you're talking about motivation to win this race if you -- banners and 25 anniversary his first win. I mean you only got a pass one car to break the balls campaign. But you -- a very good. -- Johnson and I'm not talk about these two on -- eleven car it's up there.

Well as we've seen so many times including four of the last five Martinsville races. Chad 2000 Jimmie Johnson have steadily made their car better as the day has gone on. He's now second to Denny Hamlin at one point one seconds -- it may be closed little well lost little time passing Jeff Gordon here but he's coming right back. That gives handling his biggest lead in quite awhile but I will say in this green flag run. Denny Hamlin has done a much better job of slicing his way through lapped traffic. -- Jeff Gordon has.

Slowing down look better these other guys -- speeding up. I believe the Hanlon has went away almost 24 car right now but Kyle's definitely. The 33 car looks like he's about to take this third spot away from all you gotta do is get them right front fender that'll ever quarter -- she's all within make take a laugher due. You'll eventually get him in look at Tony Stewart at fourteen car. -- going to open the door Stewart will try to go through it and didn't Jeff Gordon has been complaining a lot of now back pain. Lower back pain. Let's let me take this place will break your back. Coaching he's -- left foot all the time machine hard on those big old breaks came up man I guess down this point of the race. You got anything physically wrong -- I'm sure. Mike I think the thing we need to set up -- we got 76 laps to go remember all these cars will pit road and separate unleash. Atlanta. Don't worry about -- Joe -- enigmatic okay. No we're told the Jeff has not said anything on the radio lot of problem -- the race card to Tony Stewart. Like underneath for more Mike -- just telling them -- to use it up. Savvy -- we got plenty of gas. Jovial time ago yeah all the leaders pit road -- 353 with a 147 the going got a Carter all turned 440 -- mayfield. No columns are -- yet. -- caution and we've seen us a lot today this is not a usual. You can get down on the inside. Should stay green.

Should be a break in the traffic right about. Here if the car world turns.

Not yet maybe he'll try to get down in the back straightaway and -- whatever happens on three and four like dad. Hard to get always background in the pit road yeah.

The few laps to go Denny Hamlin heard what no leader wants to hear a halfback pass in -- long green -- like risk they told Hamlin that you need to save me half a gallon of gas.

Sing well that's out the window now -- cause I think it's it's it's the end. About sixty laps in -- pit road I think everybody will be on pit road for four tires. So this could. You can see a -- and up and eleven hits the most critical stop all day long you don't want to lose positions moment stop listening. There's one thing I you know like I do there's guys out their power their might take two tires. Guys that are back -- tenth place on the back I'd gamble man who -- might do it all day and might playoff. I think one reason they've not done it is talking to a lot of the crew -- this morning they were CNN excessive even wear on the left side didn't practice there.

All the leaders are coming. --

And Jack you know telling Jimmie Johnson and looking really good -- saying no we weren't -- that's got a good night's -- just more than 48 Jimmie sitting -- just. A little bit loose monitoring. --

31 races is slim lawyer alas what -- lane they're going to crack down on the way you just they made on the last -- lawyer says that cars all flowing.

23 -- entry to -- What do you mean that I'm greedy nice insurance. Really good I just -- only help enlighten -- there I don't know where is okay.

The stretch run. Boy -- looks like a genius well -- election her last time because they got blocked him because now we don't have as many cardinal. On the lead lap. They got in the -- got out and may have -- Jimmie Johnson the leader can he hold it.

Ready for the restart was 67 laps to go all. Eighteen cars on the lead lap and for the first time today. Jimmy Johnson's out front. Yup this is the show me once he got his showtime eating -- and eleven he's going to try to wrestle that lead back look good. The outside of the 48 give them three important don't thank you got anybody there we got. For Stewart before taking the truth I don't TV but it doesn't work anymore yeah. Stewart. And the lawyer third and fourth looking -- then a couple of lapped cars several back to Jeff Gordon. Mark Martin and dale junior. It's just cool I mean look at Jimmie Johnson you know he's won four of the last five but there's Tony Stewart talked -- him before the race start ever on the prairies on the afraid laughed. He said today was today my game -- win. Just remember Tony Stewart he was a senior member over Joe Gibbs racing but he passed the dorsett Danny had. The formed Stewart Haas now Denny Hamlin the senior member over -- you know what he must have hung onto. Those Martinsville -- an accident comes up and ready to pick up and letting the well when you look at the affiliations. -- race here as well as he does for him that to be this much on top of the game and there's two crew Chiefs -- fans go for a long time. One -- burying -- you know I've talked a lot about him to the last couple years -- any other music kids is very cheap phone at 33 car. Saying well Shane Wilson I think -- to really diamonds in the rough down and they're definitely in the right situation they are to -- Like -- get a little impatient in the middle that tacky and dale junior stuck behind some lapped cars. Beginning to bring out the ball first here now time to go. They're Shane Wilson -- their employers crew chief 62 laps to go. Jeff Gordon mired behind the to lapped cars behind him here's Mark Martin trying to get some running room as both the 55 waltrip and the eighteen Kyle Busch. Our laps down here I think I think. Doctor dirt down there hadn't hadn't have been told us more about him.

What's a four car run away because. The other lead lap cars just can't bust out adrenaline.

And those guys that are left Atlanta down there racing for position just like the guys that are racing you try to give up front got a 98 -- aren't that bright yellow card. Has racing bottom -- all. Day position -- lap down and here comes Gordon and Mark Martin in the five and junior mediate trying to push through. Well the thing about Menard in 98 in countless -- taking their exit. -- glanced down right now so I'm sure that's one of the reasons Mark Martin fouled get a little. -- Reed Sorenson or the 43 and Bobby nobody in 96 on one -- down. You know let's look at video and eighteen car. You need to got a tiny -- rice is either go along or get out the way I mean that's what they want you to do -- so -- lead follow or get out of the way. That's about the eleventh round there Kevin Harvick in the morning that Marcos Ambrose in the 47 remember what that line. Right let me help his rights and.

He took two tires on the last pit stop. Tim up five positions in the running order. -- and hang onto it as the laps wind down. Seven ago.

Battle between teammates more and more in the top.

That won't work. And I never want to. -- three wide.

Now -- work to tell what your teammate. Did your teammate double work. Mario and not -- probably if I know mark. He will probably -- to -- junior some slack here when they're juniors he gets another Ronald my mailman or oh okay. Mark Martin is one of the guys and understands that principle if he college cheap probably culture for a reason he's a lot faster he stole -- and -- the draw a lot of the cars up your rear bumper. When your own little tight track like this that it's just one little slip one little mistake can you get in trouble. You don't want to put yourself in that position.

Spin turn three and it sound Motorola. There's a caution. Believe there was contact -- ball.

Jeff Hammond -- are your picks for today's AT&T fastest most valuable veterans. Well Michael. Roger toward the end Jimmy Johnson crew led by -- really got a great job against their leader coming your dad to the -- Denny -- they've been held serve -- a lot today can't give -- there's probably can't admit I'm also very impressed with Tony Stewart. But during -- have been able to do this young Greg. Good today again we got our first three top three cars are the guys without big sub par as far as is that things are here -- Marshall -- ATP. -- You can cast your vote for -- GNT phone text. Your vote for the fastest most valuable pick through the year. That car number text at 22258. From your AT&T.

Eric how Motorola brings up the tenth caution of the day Michael waltrip will get the 49 laps to go caution for Eric Elmer roll their blowing the track in turns one and two announcers are done. We'll get back to green perhaps in as little has won the last. The 48. Was the only car on the lead lap to hit on two of the first three pit stops of the race to correctly handling problem. At lap 100 he was twenties. It wasn't until lap 235. Halfway in this race. That we first saw Jimmie Johnson in the top ten but as they've done so many times the longer the race went the better that car has become.

I always love you we need to get about halfway through the race also need look at your merits like -- come drove it's. Well and just remember the Chris stepped up on that last caution -- did Chad canal's early in the week. He was pretty upset with his pit crew there's Chad Beltran -- met last stop at Bristol with fifty to go. Because they lost three positions because of a problem -- left -- he was not happy with what it went home. Bonus pit stops at risk well remember Jimmy Johnson told us into car rocked back a little bit on that stop.

48 laps to go here in Martinsville as C American pastime is warming up.

So could bring dramatic starts of the season and a dramatic finish here in Martinsville Virginia as -- Kyle Busch jumped nearly regulars -- couple laps down yeah I he may become like the -- he still has got time to get back then only be one lap down he's had a pretty good car when I'm Ramirez and NBC are run Jimmie Johnson hard enough. To maybe give -- an opportunity to do something with Jimmy get around him also so this could be I golden opportunity. -- give voice to jump on Jimmie Johnson and also may open the door here forgot that Tony Stewart just think his that is generic kind of muddy the water -- all of these.

Race cars is always your onetime teammate Denny Hamlin then of course Denny Hamlin trying to win them back to back string -- Martinsville for the first time since the early ninety's when rusty Wallace didn't -- Jimmy Johnson usually your.

Also keep an -- on the 98 Paul Menard. He is fighting to stay in the top 35 in owner points so we have a qualifying exemption next week at Texas he is 35 in points. Right at this moment so he needs to happen and hang on and have a good finish to -- is no question the X-Factor in history starts going to -- at eighteen car what's he gonna do. Jimmie Johnson Denny Hamlin Tony Stewart Clint Boyer Jeff Gordon 45. Laps to go at Martinsville Speedway green flag. --

It's -- he's got -- right now we're not from Johnson on the restart trying to take it way down the back straightaway.

They don't have -- work pretty good at Tampa -- was always Hamlin was on missile going into turn one he jumped. The green flag was displayed he's.

I don't like this little family Hendry here though I think that 48 a comeback pointing career where all wearing a lot of bold decisive move. Hi Denny Hamlin. Considers the short tracks of Virginia his personal playground hasn't won any here. He's out front now. I don't know I've seen anybody make tech kind of restart here in long time it's such a short distance. From the start finish line into the first turn heat I'm Dan Murphy.

Tony Stewart in the fourteen has cleared the lap traffic. -- Clint -- trying to get past Kyle Busch. He -- over for the cars on the lead lap.

And a car that's a hobby I can't say enough about Tony Stewart had fourteen car the -- He's right you're good guy. Danny Hamlin just ran not only -- fastest lap of the race but the after the race period -- lab -- there. That's a twenty oh. When he 7. I -- talking close to qualifying speeds now no kid. Kaplan told us last week. I think at this stage in my career. I should have more in the win column that I do we let some get away. We've had some stolen from us. I'm tired of that -- gotten got a car weigh up how many cans and I think he just got booted up their mind the seventeenth but Mike here's the other thing -- Almost seemed a little town where you before the Bristol race last week -- after the first race coming in here this week. Next to Madison he needed to do what he's doing today.

Kansas gets back in -- got a lap down very early in this race. One time we thought he had the free pass two or three times he -- had -- somebody else justified by the leader. Kansas has been mired one lap down the whole thing. That's a battle for fourth round Darrell -- inside your screen Jeff Gordon -- the 24 car and it Boyer in the 33 remember Gordon comes in here from our point -- car has been loose on transition the car's been sliding up the racetracks in the last restart. That enabled Gordon. To take advantage.

That's like just card back like it was at the beginning of the race here it's pretty quick come home for more right now I don't know if you guys have time chasing down. First your forte don't -- it was they feel the problem is -- he is two point four seconds behind. Denny Hamlin. We had some mirror fall of Jimmie Johnson he'll only be a few Carly Simon next caution. Dropping to get him. -- play from Johnson when he got live it is like Bret -- in the middle of the they're home the exit of the -- Once they needed downing Jeff show does that brake package they got only eleven car skeptical about him but that's really it was a different. That restart. Dive -- and -- kind of more and haven't let me a break toward them.

And that's after more than. 400 laps of dive bombing it into the corner.

Person 48 car look at any -- he short even knows. He wants him and always they're just kind of distracting Romo again. Jimmie Johnson tried to die then there Ollie wants to do is give them. Damn right front -- that left her -- he -- handle it always there. -- the start looking back it's an easy where is he where is seen but that yellow Kerr bring that you see on the inside of the corners is Denny had trouble express. David rhythm and in the double zero no college -- yeah are there any other areas.

we're coming okay.

Tom is a lap down you know didn't get it starts all the black smoke coming out everything getting -- and that's -- they would send they're pretty good shape. Do you any good top ten most of the day and on the lead lap. So he won't fall. One lap behind. Has really caution with 33 to go home and see if there was contact -- get this party started. Tell -- Michael's cars and apples are silly season. He sees a lot of cars and importance --

Couple laps to go on David -- me. And -- room and had some contact.

Well that's hard on my left wrist I guess we've seen at earlier and I really are on the left rear tire.

So yes he's got deliver documents for. Remember that other X-Factor in their home and are trying to stay in the top 35 in owner points and Carl Edwards two laps down trying to get one of those back. -- got on the -- had a good run all day. We several laps down but here come the.

Kyle Busch easily fast. It does not dive into turn one on how well they wanted to anybody did -- quite clear he no Internet avoid Kyle Busch yeah did not blocked Jimmy Johnson's fast. No we're making a pretty big assumption that you want to be eleven to him that I got another I wanna. 28 laps ago. But now remember run after the last three starts beating Hamlin pulled away from Johnson for a few laps and -- Johnson reeled in -- a lot of vulnerable then they're bombing the body and then. Martin Truex when they -- linemen and Truex could not avoid him and piled up all.

Good job hanging tail -- and glamorous candidate there. Yeah it around left right here and then got hit passengers spinning in turn one. Now still double file restart then boy a lot of damage -- some of that damage. For the one was from the last caution. Cincinnati six gets a little help get off.

Played good it's something may have had something like the blue too. The deuce is loose.

Certainly has circumstantial evidence would doing point deficit and an end to the two. Reed Sorenson will get a free pass so we'll have nineteen on the lead lap. It's kind of funny how when you -- when you start today often troubling -- failure they've never gets any better -- just he's pollan goes from bad to worse. No we -- that long run of green flag racing -- laps and -- a -- want to later and we raced Burton 5060 laps and out bam bam -- for the wrong.

Well it's the end of the race or vice fighting for some didn't you know position or stay in the top 35 -- win a race. And in this is a little small circle with a lot going on I think he goes back to Clint Boyer should spotter Mike Dillon went about seventy vowed to go it's happened again yeah. And you know I did not set about to give Torre just like about the number races they should've could've won the veterans they had fuel problems. Transmitted you know and the -- I can think of a number of things didn't hit -- eleven has been the victim -- and autumn and that was that I usually get that Danny -- home 26.

Laps to go near Martinsville Virginia as we get ready for more power restart. Next week but wide open spaces. --

Next time they weren't for worse than than a weekend off before the duel in the desert Phoenix Saturday April 18 Saturday night. And then Talladega Alabama Sunday April 26 those of the upcoming Sprint Cup races here on fine.

it's a good thing about -- Phoenix race just remember going back to our baseball schedule you can watch the baseball game and we come rattled after that weird things. Not like one of my favorite weekends so it is definitely -- Texas. Coming -- love going there the -- this feels pain and Eddie gossage and those guys coming in a holding call America's speedway. I'm Hillary down I just call a big corporation myself what's the over under on Hammond -- Spurs.

The murdering. -- in the early laps administration play with the cards simply will not turn in the corners for a few right now is important position with a lot of work ahead of him.

My -- 47 laps earlier but right now it looks like a two horse race Denny Hamlin Jimmie Johnson. Tony Stewart trying for a piece of the pie. And were ready you know restart I like where security is coming into an -- goes wrong with those first two cars he's sitting pretty good shape. Timing timing of the town green flag Jimmie Johnson.

Kyle Busch is going to stay. The ends not with a 48 don't ask restart and give Hamlin a good run -- turn to nab Johnson clears the eighteen car.

Stewart coming in again Kyle Busch not a factor he is laps down. Lets the three leaders behind.

48 role in the middle of the corner a little bit better than eleven best eleven is just not enough on the didn't see -- good gets all the more he can really really all we got -- home. Jimmy's going to be some special to get back around here. I mean Mary Rose right up to Raymond don't want to come off to corner just loses that took three carlin's. Hamlin just keep stats say. Pace every -- we don't be okay. Daryl it's almost like the eleven car -- doing just what he has to do to keep the car on the bottom to the middle or he's not -- for the forty. 48 good right there in a -- as you can see an eleven kept it simple ball to former. That's paying off big time before he gets someone at 748 get a fair read them Bob Burton. Well we see Jimmy he's get a little song trying to stay when they. As -- exited turn -- back there Jimmy's got two choices -- take a long way around on the outside and Hamlin. More rude about it through well why did you start. He's going to make a -- entry into the turn and try to. Try to get a lot of momentum and rolls and this entering -- nose up alongside me. Fastest lap of this 500 lap races we've got nineteen laps to go. Tony said there he's got a good looking car during his playing into -- trouble all day long running well. Pretty happy I would take any restarts from here on out would be single file the last twenty laps of the race. What a great. We had a one time. Of them for the lead after one is typical day at Martinsville I know there's a lot of great surprise Chinese cheerleaders. We Jeff Gordon had 33 and Mark Martin and dale -- try to get up there along with Ryan -- 24 has got. Menard the money you never woods in the Manning and also what's wrong Mark Martin of the car up into that now. Com point -- 48 keeps rolling up closer in the middle of the corner. Completely get every game two -- might just give him a little. First. On the right if your streamlining. It's. Two laps down he's not a factor. In this battle but you try to -- he's.

Clear out and I -- I don't might have been pretty -- I don't understand why mess up but never got Tony. When Johnson used a little hustle and a lot of muscle to get past Denny Hamlin. Fifteen laps to go got plenty of time for Hamlin again Mac was gone yeah and your team back I don't think this race is definitely don't win. I'm pretty sure Jimmy Johnson. He's got right back there won't tell them about what his homer in the he's yardage right there now he's going to work on the back of that eleven car. Jimmie Johnson's got to drive it like he's stolen because the way he got passed Hamlin and if Hamlin can catch him he will move rim yeah I just a Little League so you better got like these don't sound HTTP sullied. Eat better you -- has cooled out well I still don't look back.

On day one so both those guys they showed a lot of car control -- get those cars questioning earlier today those two guys really are my else's find out what they --

Jimmie Johnson. I really trying to pull away. We can't -- that pass again my god -- Chad not impressed or was it just they -- way to go you know I was still twelve laps to go.

This is -- we talked about this early in the race the hardest thing to do is get down in this corner under somebody cannot stand -- get into. Now those two cars for all practical purposes program. Yes they are you could say Stewart he's just licking his job well they didn't know what they -- quite sure where they were gonna go so we cannot lay out a little bit. Can Denny Hamlin get back to Jimmy Johnson nor will this be another one that got away. He's got his work cut out -- form as we are now available at ten laps to go. And Johnson leads by 12. He is it possible to have a blue monster mobile minutes up. We just tennis I don't know enough about kotsay live at 39 Iran Newman NBA David -- junior -- here where did you layoff didn't. For seventh place. We got some battles going on. There goes your get a back doing junior's not finished jam. Thank you. They -- doughnuts each other for last four found lamps. Jimmie Johnson has pulled out to over a second lead over Danny Hamlin is -- becoming an eight laps to go this time. You know win win Denny Hamlin muscled the lead away from -- score from a Jimmy Johnson going down into turn one here. I'm not sure they probably getting Hamlin and expect maybe a little contact in big guy came down to it. How -- a car like that forty -- be so bad at the start of the race have to stop on two of the first three cautions for adjustments. He's so good now did you see the gas and on the pit box John -- is an expression on his face he had nine. All he knows he has fixed the car I got hit driver will win difference that good at expression. A plan comes together how little sigh of relief area we get to that thank you very much everything's going well like -- planned it. You know Jimmy Johnson told us on Friday that Chad canals he never quits working on things whether it's in the shop. Read the racetrack he's tenacious. He's got a cool customer behind the wheel I was gonna say if Jimmy didn't win today he might have to shave that beard. This is his house that we know them check it out.

Honesty the -- speedway up in Illinois and reminds me of a number of short track crew Chiefs I've known in the fall asleep under the card to in the morning with a wrench in one hand. Wake up at 5 in the morning start turning their -- again.

You know his real quick what Jimmie Johnson becoming -- four laps to go a couple of cars they have worked their guts out to get the top ten rationale behind Dale Earnhardt junior. -- home and they hear about the ninth spot have 44 in Jamie McMurray started 28. Just inside the top TNT tonight I got got to tip my hat to -- keep coming my little brother is in trouble early got a lap down got lucky dog and he's fault. Back to thirteen pretty good day for him -- Sixth place Mark Martin Ryan Newman.

Continue to battle. Three laps to go forward -- his -- and whereby they. Great day for a Stewart Haas racing Tony in the third and Brian pushing for six what it is they got a couple of good weeks here and don't let it go. Johnson's lead has stabilized at 12. Over Denny Hamlin. Play physical battle for six she's gonna go home to the wound up yeah and then run is over -- and his car up bunch but. Marks give him enough for him an effective meaning yet. They're gonna come to the line and fighting with each other and we got one laps to go out -- Kansas bounced off the wall. Well we're in the white flag -- now.

We Johnson's halfway down the back straightaway. Newman and Martin -- each other -- to thank -- we got to bed early match ten. Hopefully he will prevail Jimmy Johnson wins at Martinsville on the 25 anniversary of Hendrick motor sports first win. 41 cup win as dale junior boundaries okay all the way to the flag and Chris Taylor the balance. Let's say like Johnson and eleven car and I. Any words -- it looks like pretty congenial. Five wins aren't very hard brand name. Five wins in the last six Martinsville races for Jimmie Johnson.

Johnson did not believe this race until last. The birdie. But this past -- Denny Hamlin. We'll send Jimmy Johnson and Rick Hendrick. Martinsville victory lane.
