Welcome back! Last weekend we took a split, with Joey Logano falling to Denny Hamlin and Daniel Suarez beating Aric Almirola. Richmond was a bit of an anomaly, as Denny Hamlin had about the 12th-best green flag speed but won due to pit strategy. Joey Logano had trouble in the pits, having a jack get stuck under the car when he was in the top five, and he never recovered. We look ahead to Martinsville and have a few nice spots picked out.

Martinsville is the smallest track on the NASCAR circuit, measuring 0.526 miles. It is relatively flat, having only 12 degrees of banking in the corners. It's a jam-packed track with 38 drivers in tow, and navigating lap traffic will be a constant. We anticipate the complete opposite of Richmond, especially after a caution-filled race last night in Xfinity. Short-to-mid run speed is a must for the handicapped, and the ability to gain spots on pit road under yellow is what we're shopping for.
