What Mark Martin 2000 lives here. And -- is still a lap and half down. By the way Paul Menard beating up on the wheel during the last green flag run pain at all and -- got a free pass on this last caution. So he is back on the lead lap one of love 48 cars there. Stewart almost lost it up in turn number four. I've -- gone way up in the high stuff and got everything but the -- and he's got problems are millions of buildup won't start right here. Take a lap to get that knocked off but. Not a very good day you can see the reverend close just flat. Because they got their time clock to just -- rubber up like -- And then after about. Themselves of that debris. And you can get back up to speed. Now we talked about Ryan Newman having an interest in pit stop. So that wonderful man can make adjustments the driver of the carrier on the right front has to -- two tires. Kasey Kahne comes along and -- one of them sending it. Off into the next -- We should be sitting in the Kasey Kahne -- you know he's trying to dribble too tired -- so someone else to make an adjustment on. Now because the -- getting away was the fault of the car passing along the pit lane Newman was not penalized but this is something. First -- wrestling -- since then thanks for 2011. It can't mean last year that kids can't man would have been making. And that's the other.

He said I don't wanna change mines and we're not rolling --

Thanks Steve what happened to Kyle -- just jumped out of the lane and he loses position. We look at it -- it was our whole center Jamie McMurray and F one -- And Kyle's gonna go back. David Reagan wants to stay tied to the rear bumper Jeff Gordon and not let Thailand. Now here's what happened to move Kyle Busch watch the one of -- right then left rear seemed to -- the racetrack. Any handling the eleventh Jeff Gordon and that's what it's gonna spotter says he's looking he's looking he's there. He's not getting -- he's there. Kyle Busch -- in line in sixth behind him Jeff Gordon. -- Johnson out. Almost two seconds. Over Clint Boyer and bolder comes -- under the one McMurray got to give way this time and he gives Hamlin plenty of room. So third play.

OK. Okay. I haven't really. Okay I -- On the right now and then I don't even. A lot of great.

It's not sure anybody's gonna give anybody anything weird thing. They're really good story though it. And got -- up and I was gonna get into the.

Under caution at Martinsville. Clint Boyer -- everybody off pit road -- the first three took two tires including Dale Junior and -- taught him. -- Sadler coming off the corner bounced off the wall on the back straight away. Cut down a -- that's what's put us under the fourth caution flag of the day -- watch that took glowing green number 71 that Sadler from Emporia Virginia. Well too -- out -- in the right front suffers. That you may have been a right front problem. Retirement news then we lose. So let's check -- on what they did on pit stops beginning --

like Jimmie Johnson set I definitely don't Manning name in the lineup this thing is really -- well one thing and I'm a little trouble on pit road. Getting along and runs trouble on the left rear Jimmy Johnson came on the radio and I need you guys come on being consistent. --

the decision to take two tires for Clint Bowyer was the last minute decision and get clear up what he meant by letting I don't know he just didn't want to get out of the -- he's an I'd rather let one cardinal finding stumbled Madden daily sports.

Positions match.

Resting in continue to hear the comments and Denny Hamlin toys making big progress they continue with the same adjustment track -- last time the -- still tied. But it's getting much better --

Our current minor adjustments did they make very star executed by rear carrier had composure in the car has been very very good all day another. Tiny adjustment and a good pit stop. Thanks to -- 40%.

Race distance just past the 200 lap mark Clint -- the leader Dale Earnhardt junior ranks second. Robert junior's new crew chief Steve when Harden got the first of his ten Sprint Cup wins right here. With Jeff Gordon spun his sixth -- ever -- past -- come -- Let's take an inside look at what's happening now in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. Right do you -- sprint and HTC -- for -- Denny Hamlin still has the fastest lap of the race. Seventh lap 123. One point 09 seconds. And the most laps led. That's Jimmie Johnson. 64 just ahead of this caution. New York into NASCAR.

Her family live in car audio and real time stats on NASCAR Sprint Cup Poland and -- DC you know fourteen this spring dot com slash speed. Three cars took the wave around Mark Martin. Schrader and the 37 and Tony Raines gutsy gamble it's only gets thing and get back on the lead lap so I guess -- try something. What Montoya started in their junior did not get such a great restart it's gonna be employer wanted to Korea and Kyle Busch persons Bernhard. Come on --

For the green flag his crew -- Let me -- just to -- sometimes brazenly trying to round there was only 23 --

Yeah Jeff Gordon the tracks all time winner has fought his way up to the Marie's side by side Denny Hamlin got he just methodically been doing I'm gonna watch the game into Smith appears. Yeah he's an outstanding job driving. And here comes Newman. Inside and Denny Hamlin was the man talk to the outside. Surrendering. Six plays now.

What Hamlin cut down for. --

Hurry up. It's gonna get it back in the hurry into one call war again he kept him -- green there again today. Still just three cars out of this race. 03 gone within the first forty laps JJ -- Mike Skinner and Joni Mitchell called behind the wall. When cars more than ten laps down feeling that. On the lead lap now thirty cars with those three wave around and when you -- coming down.

Gotta make a quick decision to block any loss of not letting go normally you would probably give a little bit of room but with the track. Dirty about it. Often take a chance.

Back sixteen here comes Vickers -- silver car you'll see on the outside trying to make it work we haven't seen many passes. To the outside today and Regan Smith holds aloft and here comes biffle on the bottom. Greg Biffle and sixteen cars starting back. -- 33 spot.

Trying to get up near.

Kevin Harvick -- riding with a he's been right around twentieth to 25 most all day.

He saw beautiful bounce off the corner comes Harvick yeah Harvick got -- The with the cars not handling good -- they keep working on it he's.

room and now they're spring training. Kozlowski right behind Harvick. And comes look Donahoe and at second third fourth one Toyota Busch and Gordon. And problem but boy and a 42 partners Jeff Gordon got a disk drive underneath complex to take third away. Employee has. The fans want -- Monica oh and Formula One. Hundred he wants to win so I had a lot of -- in NASCAR would it be ironic if you want on the smallest one week took -- to them. After having no short track experience before he came for the Sprint Cup Series feeling got to sit told him hey you explain Martinsville races and I figured out about this place. You have to -- like Jim. Into the corner like a gentleman. You gotta come off like a line in which is a little bit but nothing. You know a lot of these drivers have private Jets. Montoya is no one uses five feet long with a four foot wingspan and he flies through the radio control. Loves doing man. He doesn't love this here comes Jeff Gordon. Martinsville is an all time active winningest driver. Himself up the second place. In the wall hard Jones Kasey Kahne and everybody play all the Martin Truex felt like wow -- you. That car and he and I don't want fans -- Martin's all right. On -- is. Cool too. The good thing one -- it. And Kasey Kahne is moving around in his car. Mark went over to check on the parallel might be the hardest hit I've ever seen that at this small racetrack -- today that was. The race cars is demolished. You think they're not going to fast you're watching him and us. There aren't -- feeling something happened -- morning trek -- 56 as hard as he was driving on the neck.

Heard as damning he would be able to slowest Daly didn't look like I've been doing well and hard to say about breaks but it looks like Carlos --

sort of -- all of our money out of -- Baltimore hotel all the pork. Let the game has not addressed.

Part church was on the lead lap and it. Sears okay.

That was a vicious crash I just never every day in these guys get up and -- praise the lord for them safer world softball. Safer barriers.

Now he has a lot dropped a lot of flew it on the racetrack radiator oil cooler everything into the wall. So NASCAR's gonna bring this to a -- while they cleanup from Kasey Kahne yeah. Martin Truex.

It's NASCAR on fox from a Hollywood hotel lives here in Martin.

Still Virginia just a quick recap on how things have gone the Big Three wickets of the leaders of the thirteen weekend. Denny Hamlin came in winning the last three of these races. Has led 33 laps. Jimmie Johnson led the most 65 left hustling off pit road. But moments ago Jeff Ireland yeah looks like the throttle -- almost 56 car park trick or -- came out but. Overall they're kind of slow start analyzing the ball that you see -- get out of the car right now over to Casey came to make sure he's okay. Or Martin Truex junior he appeared to be all right spectacular pictures -- amazing. The bull drivers -- go to hell yes Chris coming -- just walk outside the checkbook some things and a bit much there's that Hollywood saw how how was on top of the pit box when these two guys. Crash brought that in front of me not telling you at its center like a huge explosion. With the two of them got together and hit the outside like prepared on the clock checkbook -- you -- eventually you wonder what's going through drivers.

Mind as he's going through that. As they are working on the safer barrier here at Martinsville -- you see the damage draft there there have to replace some of the plaguing roster that looks like he's been penetrated. In behind that is where the blocks ago. That allows these -- that wall itself to give up. You with hard impacts like this so they'll replace those blocks. Make the repaired the -- Rickie back got back to racing industry human.

So -- under the red flag meanwhile Clint Boyer for the first time in his career leading a race in the Martinsville and -- a pretty good job in terms of holding out over the last Richard Childress a car to win here. Dale Earnhardt in 19951. Kevin Harvick coming off the big win last week.

Yep they wind there's got last week but it leaving I think even bigger for these guest is really welcome North Carolina is run down the road from from Martinsville it has been allowed justice and RC our car has won here. I mean obviously Jeff Burton is run well here as well as Kevin Harvick but for Clint Boyer. I mean he's really started show some muscle guys have been through watching that cars really roll into the center and and making a lot of ground up only exit. Lot of drop off the corner.

And as we -- welcome back Larry Darryl Mike just your thoughts and had to get off to them on the on the pace of this race so far. And the fact of lawyers hanging in there with guys like Jeff Gordon who has had success Kyle Busch all the short track wins yet none of them. Have to have come here.

Gaza want I haven't noticed similar am pretty sure you have Tuesday as the race is for grass would talk about the track taken -- we're seeing faster and faster lap times a deeper we go in the race. Well and what were also seen his gasket and the little bit more of a gambler mode -- when you look at while ago that after 23 laps. Guys like Montoya yet Dale Earnhardt junior take you don't just to right side tires trying to get that ever important track position. But because at the start of the race we didn't think anybody would make a two tire stop but Darryl how about the aggression level in this race we've seen it up and down but generally I think people look. Pretty well behaved out so far which are still a lot of sand and are glad this so is it trickles down the temperature that tempers will flare up as we get down the into this race could but I've been surprised how good -- hope that we thought that might be an issue. So far from again as opens right to Bertrand. With Kasey Kahne who has just emerged from the cares.

And are you OK I don't find it is then. Our biggest problem is we got behind -- with the tyres are -- rhetoric and we you we are frightening car and we got too far back in. -- was so you know once I got hit and -- get hit didn't spin out of somebody's now admit I was where. I knew that the throttle or something and it stuck -- Martin starts there -- he drove me through the law and then you know he -- is pretty good -- It's so bad then covered in police had a solid -- Most important is your okay thank you.

Chris thanks and a couple of top tens of before this year for Casey canes are turning things around -- unfortunate today for him and Martin Truex junior in. -- what's race is a little bit earlier but currently just the top five drivers as we stand they all started. Outside the top sentence Boyer Gordon Montoya Kyle Busch have been Dale Earnhardt junior who started twice.

Yeah I think you're up for Dale Earnhardt junior -- a -- they've been basically be very patient the sound of the did the two tire. You know changes last time and got some great track position -- know the rest that group -- especially Jeff Gordon I think that they're starting show their -- muscle right now. And I'm not really surprised about that. They are gonna think this column not caught up -- Martin tricks.

Yeah I indeed we are so glad to see you walk out of that cares and you are right. Compania. Stuck throttle up what was it like inside that car ports like when you saw that wall common and you knew you were ready at a time. It was though man this is gonna hurt but it didn't. -- dinner at all Tomlin wasn't it is it is indeed but we're real real glad to see -- okay.

Yeah just again thanks NASCAR. It's -- we got to build safer barriers in these race cars everything earn their unbelievable you know just ten years ago I wouldn't be standing here so. Thankful for that and thankful for everybody work whenever it's where there's just. Sarah stay right there but do -- we start off pretty bad order are working on again batter and we're just trying to survive. We sure didn't need that but I it is what it is full of blood going next week to fight hard.

Is there anything at all you can do when you feel that injured running wide open in you don't wanted to be doing that --

Now unfortunately there's not to read and lock the breaks out but. There's nothing to do as bad as it doesn't forces as there was that Casey was involved. He held really else on the -- down when I and so that was probably a blessing but they do we took him out. -- okay Chris Myers. Thanks ticket for you ran over to make your case who's okay and chronicle had Casey's car was in the way or goes his its lust at first we're very short and it's almost as soon as -- he's still kind of catch -- breaths during minicamp -- I walked away for.

There again yeah you have to experience something like that and fortunately you know be the one of us have had to do that that for these drivers. Even know you talk about this being the smallest race track on the circuit. You carry so much speed -- over a hundred miles an hour down of these corners he's got all four tires. Locked up he's trying to kill switch if he's trying to do everything he can't get that car stopped and you see the end result so I mean you. Helpless is solidly to save -- he was helpless Truex junior Kasey -- done for the day here on the short track but next week on Saturday night first night race at the Texas Motor Speedway you can bet there's speed so Africa. It's on its --

Recoveries in the Texas Motor Speedway that's like you mess with the ball and he got the whole.

NASCAR.

Vengeance of fire department -- speedway operated get back get hope you enjoyed the halftime break. 222. Laps are in the books in the red flag. Caused by the Martin Truex Kasey Kahne crash in turn number three the -- been repaired.

Kevin Harvick reaches for the switches and his. Ready go racing. And our fans and -- fell flat around there are getting Nancy -- break and but.

It only placed outside Martinsville Speedway have seen hot dogs like that isn't. A little hot dog stand. Just adjacent Winston-Salem airports call -- and it's been there for. For a hundred years Tony Martin went runs and now. It's a favor to the France family in all the NASCAR officials next door.

They got it up buddy. Got a little right here now the question is I've seen this happen before. Rotors -- war sit there cooler now sometimes you don't have a problem and I'll -- you have a problem we get -- roll off this may be good for sun. Could be bad for a failure. Here are right -- I'm -- lot he you -- brake -- and I have seen him do that but I think the more important thing -- were almost halfway here. Halfway break driver gets kind of gets a chance to rest up a little bit -- think about what he's got what he wants to do not think that's more important thing back notion. Got sick argue that information in the crew chief -- car better in the second half of the race. Can -- gets a push start that is allowed after a red flag. And to recap after a 24 minute red flag almost 45. Clint Boyer is your leader the first of 48 cars on the lead lap I don't know -- taken any rubber not with the old Kirby is -- they have apparently not. Perfect got a lot of rubber build up -- him. That turned black. Six caution flags now and my third one of those rubber balls that we talked about the build up. -- that -- the tires picked did you get enough of those on their wants like you do if you get up. -- And the bigger beneficiary on this caution. Is that a 122 of Kurt Busch he will get the free pass. And be back on believe line. Don't think there's usually that was the caution to go was Kurt Busch this time around it's neck cancer. Who got a penalty right at the start of the race and has been working for the last 222 laps to get back on the lead lap right now anyway. I don't think we'll see a lot of action on pit road because on that last caution may only. They only have eleven laps on their tires like earlier you may see some of the cars some of the drivers at the back of the late left. Great come to pit road but I think -- what else would stay out. Hendrick motor sports trying to tie Petty Enterprises for the most wins by one team here in nineteen. For the caddies out of Brentwood North Carolina eighteen for Hendrick at thirteen to work junior Johnson & Associates. One of the -- cars and.

Running and fourteenth or running intense right now after qualifying sixth.

And there's. There is the king it's been real windy this weekend perhaps that accounts for the lack of the Cowboys in the top Richard Petty. Well we pretty hardware hits then I guess you weren't ever. -- what happened and seemed to work better answer.

Fight card lead or one of those drivers who elected him in a row they wanted to happen to have both -- track -- wedge adjustment. Making progress but the car still way too. It's not exited the 99.

Brad Kozlowski also stopped Greg Biffle Casey mears. Have been on good -- during this caution Joey MacDonald.

They're really benefited we have talked about Mark Martin and that's five remember he was penalized for changing lanes on that restart. Back on lap 181. Took the wave rail and we had a quick caution so now he goes back to the lead lap. 127. Yep that's that's. That's a perfect scenario for the -- around get a -- around and in shortly thereafter get a caution and your back in business. He's one of about seven drivers that pitted under that caution right here.

So what we restart. 29 cars will be on the lead lap. And those who stopped to also include good AJ -- bigger Tony Stewart. Casey mears saw Carl Edwards Matt Kenseth. Tony Raines Kenny schrader and Landon Cassel. Were -- on good road during this caution.

So. The kids and gets the free pass -- Jeff Gordon. After getting a free pass halfway through the race in 20051. Here.

like you can expect gym floor and and you really grasp on this restart. Energy -- guns and saying hey let's run there and get us a bonus point for leading a lap.

So check back can't see how your Pizza -- fan favorite driver is doing just four. Gordon started today and 21. He is now up to second. Seventh hole seven wins here.

And we listened in on Clint --

Thought that forty feet down bomb on me. You know -- people. I don't know maybe the yeah have to protect the bottom of the start you can't afford.

Montoya will start second row inside he has been seen to be especially. Up on the wheel on these restarts and go back when Steve Byrnes -- press the restart and that's one thing -- heat put a lot of college and studied a lot of.

He's -- past races because he felt like one -- get hurt him last year. Was not getting a lot on restarts lose a lot of -- may. Commitment to be more aggressive this year at the drop -- flag restart.

125 minute red flag. For cleanup and repair the turn three wall we're gonna get back to green next time by. Completing latitude 29 -- smart -- target chip in the hall along with that -- Kasey Kahne Truex. We'll likely finish about fortieth today. One thing I'm thinking gotta be aware of here for that 33 hurting saying don't let them forty to stop bombing. If he does Jeff Gordon be alongside the 33 which could have a big mess on our hands here. -- stone faced Garcia and lawyer Gordon. Montoya. Getting ready for the restart green flag racing again. -- gets away clean its Gordon and Montoya for second.

We're trying to keep that wonderful -- Gordon on the -- side Dale Earnhardt junior media.

And here comes Kyle Busch now it's up to him to deal with the outside -- former. -- To get out there if gas goes down so much on the bottom -- surely -- mind. Danny well Kurt Busch hit the carbon at twenty -- just traps body the body of 47 in the -- the budget the cards in and out.

Record right you'll --

Modano spins on the vulnerable and he scored. Battle right front damage Obama prepared mentally and -- brought out there they've played he spins around. Has a lot of them stop to try to avoid this.

And have watched Eric Kurt Busch and don't -- on the outside. Tough tough -- out there whoa whoa whoa three wide almost. Brian Vickers got a nose under Kurt Busch. There's what happened I think Vickers also saw Harvick. It was -- three wide going down here in turn three at some -- you. Yeah I mean. What yeah. Yeah yeah that was not I don't work yeah -- yeah. I just playing catch up and let the pictures -- able to look at it and Kurt Busch bounces off the curve and Bobbie -- body in the 47 is the innocent victim young. We're probably wondered what in the world. I like Kasey Kahne was with the pitcher Rick Rick. These guys think it. Caution is out for the seventh time that.
