Martinsville
Dustin seems to think Sunday's race at Martinsville will make or break the Chase for a few folks.
If you're Kevin Harvick, who seems to have figured out this weird little track, that's a good thing.
If you're Jeff Burton, you're going to pretend there's a 99 on the side of your car. Look at those stats: Burton was freakin' awesome at Martinsville from 1996 to 2003 -- he got one win and 8 top 5s in 16 races and completed 99.5 percent of the laps.
As a Childress driver, eh. Not great, not bad. He'll do.
He better pick it up: Gordon's good here. (He's the defending race champ). So's Junior. Tony Stewart followed a second in the fall 2005 race with a win in the spring. And Jimmie Johnson's worst finish here in eight races is an astounding ninth.
Does anyone else have the mojo to challenge for a win?

I know he needs to drive the wheels off of the #4 just to get in the race, but I'm going with Ward. He's always been one of my favorite drivers back to his late model days at South Boston.
I'm just glad to see him back as opposed to another graduate of somebody's driver development program. You don't keep a Daytona 500 and Southern 500 winner on the sidelines.
