Martinsville Race Sunday March 30th

[Tanko]

Fords seem to have the edge in this race.
Over the last 3 races at martinsville they've almost finished as many cars in top 5 and top 10 as Toyota or Chevy combined.
And have finished 1st in 2 of the 3 races.

Manufacturer	# Top 10s in 3 races	# Top 5s in 3 races	Winners
Toyota	5	3	0
Ford	15	7	2
Chevrolet	10	5	1

Is this a short track?

Where are road courses these days?

Used to love taking some long shots to win in road courses as anything can happen

Martinsville is the "Paperclip" short-track.


Road Courses:

• Circuit of the Americas (Austin) - already raced.
• Sonoma
• Watkins Glen (always be Bud on the Glen in my mind)
• Chicago Road Course

Tank didn’t you say you went to a Bristol race once where Dale Jr dominated?

I always wanted to go to a short track race

Yes. 2004. Jr. lead like 90% of the laps and of course won.
Its a lot of fun but, its a lot of people in a very small area. 100K people leaving Bristol was insane.

Yeah when I took my godson to Xfinity when the #88 won a month ago it was perfect since the stands weren’t totally jam packed
