Apparently, this race is in danger of being postponed, not run on Thursday though... another week because of the need to move equipment to Homestead. If that's the case, the Diecast contest will be moved to the Homestead race. Regardless, I will be opening the Homestead race for picks sometime today.

Good luck on this diecast race guys :)
I want to change my pics and pic some guys that have no chance, like them guys at the back of the pack, but I want the overall points this year.
I will not mail out the diecast to myself thou when I win (the postal lady would think I am crazy), so dara will have to decide on who or how the win would be played out when I win this race :)

Looks like everyone made their pics except our 'rookie' Oakster :(

[dara]

Lap 60, competition caution, and Logano in the lead. Only 18 on the lead lap.

Lap 69: restart, Logano leads. Scoring our missing player 10 pts less than the lowest entry now.

[dara]

Lap 113, caution, Timmy Hill stalled on pit road.

[crazed 9.6]

19 cars on lead lap with this caution.
Keslowski, Kyle B , Hamlin and Arimola are a few that are at least one lap down.
Should not be too much of a worry thou as they can get that lap back, but need to do it now or soon :)

[crazed 9.6]

[dara]

Lap 130, Joey Logano wins stage 1, 10 bonus points to superbox

Joey is dialed in' ...as Jeff Gordon just said... and it's true.
Joey is on fire here, early in this race !
Bowyer too, driving hard again !

[dara]

Truex has a commitment line violation, so he goes to the back of the lead lap.

[crazed 9.6]

Truex has a commitment line violation, so he goes to the back of the lead lap.

Kyle B has some damage on his car too, and no one seems to know where that came from... lol

Johnson up into 3rd !!
Johnson has most wins here at Martinsville out of active drivers.
Jeff Gordon is tied with Johnson and only 2 others have more, Darrell Waltrip and Richard Petty.

Dara's stats also say ... 'Track Qualifying Record: Joey Logano, March 28, 2014, 100.201mph, set in first round of qualifying'

[dara]

Lap 203, Jimmie Johnson takes the lead.

[dara]

I believe if the race goes beyond Lap 250, if not the 2nd stage, we will have an official race. Rain drops reported near the track.

[4me2c]

lol.. Bowyer threads the needle to make it 3 wide to get by Bubba ... wow

You Jinxed Him crazed...! Lol...

[crazed 9.6]

You Jinxed Him crazed...! Lol...

Its all a mute point now cause Jimmie is on it !!!

[dara]

Lap 260, Jimmie Johnson wins Stage 2, 10 bonus points to Marley. Race is official.

[dara]

Lap 272, Blaney takes the lead, Byron had a loose tire violation and went to the back of the lead lap.

[dara]

Lap 285, Logano back in the lead

[dara]

177 to go Blaney takes the lead, with Keselowski passing Logano... penske 123.

Yellow for a spinout by David Starr

[dara]

Lap 332, Logano takes the lead, with Brad and Elliott behind.

[dara]

Lap 370 Lead get shuffled, Brad, then Truex, and Logano.

[dara]

Now Truex in the lead. Nice move from 21st after his penalty.

[dara]

Caution with 100 laps to go, Truex leads off pit road.

[dara]

Austin Dillon off the track due to heat exhaustion.

[crazed 9.6]

Austin Dillon off the track due to heat exhaustion.
Some grueling races with this late start and bumped up schedule for these guys :eek:
Bubba Wallace seems okay today :)

Homestead will be a broiler.

[dara]

10 laps to go Truex leads by 5 seconds.

[dara]

5 to go, still better than 4 second lead.

[dara]

Congrats to Martin Truex, Jr, first win of the season. 50 bonus points to dara and bigstar.

Points coming up.

[crazed 9.6]

[dara]

Complete standings in the rules thread!

Next race, Homestead, on Sunday 14 June!

[crazed 9.6]

Congrads on the Diecast win dara !!
Good job !
bigstar was right there too, nice job too !

As you know, my diecast contact is ummmmmm... well he is currently out of contact :eek:
So, maybe simply choose a Driver or even a particular car and we can see what we can do :)

[Marley]

dang my long shot didnt pan out but hes going to win one

[dara]

That was a real good debut of cup night racing at Martinsville. It will be even better when they get to do that in front of a crowd, just like Bristol. JGR had the best car, but what the heck happened to the other three cars, wow, and the Stewart-Haas cars also fell back. Miami will be run without live fans, I think they said that Dega was going to be with fans, but Pocono and Indy won't.

Edit: 1000 South Florida service members will be invited to the Homestead race, and 5000 fans will be allowed to watch from the stands at Talladega, first come first served with a certain distance from the track.

[4me2c]

Congratz To Truex and dara for the WINS...!!!

Congratz to bigstar also for the Highest Points with dara...!!!

Thought for sure Bowyer was gonna do better...!

[4me2c]

Hey dara 4me Knows You already made Your Choice but check this one out :

By the way, Homestead will have around 1000 Military Spectators at the Track on Race Day...! :cool:

[dara]

Harvick ran with a dead alternator for 450 laps, wow. No brake fans, no ventilation, using battery only for spark and displays.

[crazed 9.6]

damn crazy for Harvick !
