The NASCAR Cup Series has its 151st race at the Martinsville Speedway. Hendrick drivers are trying to win in their 40 year celebration while teams like Penske look to pounce of what can be an opportunity race.

Dale Jr: “Rip up the concrete. Make it asphalt!” haha. Sad to see Martinsville no longer have good racing for cup.
NASCAR needs to fix the setup. Bring back the Bristol package. Wish we could’ve had a good finish. 3/10 What a glazing of a race. You literally could only pass on pit stops.
But Byron passed throughout out the race on green
If I had my pick, I would sacrifice the improved racing that we’ve had on the 1.5 mile tracks for the kind of racing we used to have on the short tracks and road courses.
The frustrating part is that you don’t have to have an engineering degree to understand that this car was fundamentally flawed from the get-go
Short track racing is the purest form of stock car racing and it just sucks that we’re going to probably have to wait until the next generation of car to come around to fix these issues, which could be a decade
Massive mistake with this car
Truex was in the top 5-11 until stage 3 something happened and he got caught in the back
Stayed out too long on that pit cycle
@@ChampaBayBeast he was back there way before green flag pits started, he had 20 less laps than everyone on the cycle at that point. Something else happened mate he pitted too early in the beginning of the stage or something . I have no idea.
@@hoosierfilms5350 The tires don’t wear so that advantage is basically null in void. It was all about the track position he lost by the time the cycle came around. Gibbs and Suarez had the same issue.
Wait last race the problem was Richmond and having 2 races……now it’s not Martinsville the track it’s a car problem lol
@@mrsimsationalytI was shocked to see the empty stands at the truck race
@@mrsimsationalyt I was at Richmond and it looked more full , in the rain, on Easter, at night, than Martinsville did today….i love Martinsville too but let’s stay objective!!
These cars need more horsepower
Richmond slander needs to go away as well. The track used to be one of the hottest tickets in Nascar. The track didn’t get the nickname “The Action Track” for no reason. The newer generation of fans do not realize these great tracks aren’t the problem. It’s the crap new car.
40 years of Hendrick, can’t wait for the 4 of them to win more this season
It was overdone at the track as well Hendrick glaze fest
You know it’s bad when lapped down cars are holding up the leaders for 20+ laps
I’m convinced hendrick owns parts of nascar there’s no way hendrick can win this amount of races so consistently with the “parody” that’s supposed to be going on now
They have been doing this for over 30 years! There’s no parody in NASCAR there’s Hendrick motorsports and Joe Gibbs racing and everybody else.
The race was a snorfest
Agreed- Xfinity is way better to watch now…..
Rick Hendrick is the main character of nascar lol
Ty for Keselowski representation in the thumbnail
If we just gave the cup guys the xfinity cars I think we’d have a great season lmao
i still really can’t figure out why these cars can’t have more power
I understand someone or 2 he’ll the top 3 are hooked up fine I’ve seen it before. What sucks is the lack of racing from 5-15th at times. It’s not the track but car get rid of this pos car racing will better.
