NNS: Bristol Motor Speedway - Sharpie Mini 300
Danni
RESULTS
1. Clint Bowyer
3. David
12. Scott
41. Martin
For the I-can't-even-remember-th time, rain was the biggest headline, even at a place like Bristol. With dark clouds looming in the distance, the main goal was to make it to halfway. The urgency became apparant fairly quick.
There were two cautions before the competition caution on Lap 45, including one that took out Martin, who was driving Dale Jr.'s #5 car (something I was very happy about!). Martin slowed slightly off a corner to compensate Carl Edwards getting loose, only to be plowed from behind by none other than David Ragan.
It was actually kind of scary to watch Martin fly down the backstretch and go back up the banking in the next turn to barely clip Kyle Busch. Poor Kyle! Could he just get a sliver of luck? Martin held his tongue in a post-wreck interview, but I could tell he knew exactly who hit him. 
The race continued on with David and Scott both running in the top-10. Scott eventually lost handling on his car and dropped back, but David only went forward. Just as he was starting to catch the battling Clint Bowyer and Kasey Kahne to add his challenge for the lead, the skies opened and decided not to stop. NASCAR called the race at Lap 171. David finished in the same place he did last time his visited Bristol (but with no one spinning just in front of him).
On to Nashville, the track of David's first NASCAR win. I'm sure he'd love to add another guitar to his collection.
