BROWNSBURG, Indiana – The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and Sprint Cup Series visited the legendary short track of Martinsville Speedway in Martinsville, Va., over the weekend.
Brendan Gaughan led the field of Ringers’ supporting racers to the checkered flag in 11th place. Gaughan actually was running in second place in the closing laps of the race, but had to pit under green to top off on fuel.
The next supporting team to the finish line was the No. 07 Green Light Racing fielded entry, with Ryan Lawler behind the wheel for the race. Lawler brought the No. 07 Chevrolet home in 17th.
Denny Hamlin piloted one of the two Billy Ballew Motorsports entries in the Kroger 200, while BBM regular Kyle Busch drove the second. Hamlin finished the race in 21st, with Busch in 26th.
The second truck of Green Light Racing, the No. 08 driven by Jason White, finished right behind Busch in 27th.
All three racers of the Penske Racing trio qualified and finished the Sprint Cup Series Goody’s Cool Orange 500 on Sunday, with Daytona 500 winning driver Ryan Newman leading the pack to the finish in 19th in his No. 12 Alltel Dodge. Rookie driver Sam Hornish Jr., finished behind him in 28th and Kurt Busch in 33rd in the No. 2 Miller Lite Dodge.
The NASCAR Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series head to Texas Motor Speedway this weekend for their respective races, while the Craftsman Truck Series enjoys a couple weekends off before returning to action in the O’Reilly Auto Parts 250 at Kansas Speedway, April 26.
Ringers Gloves would also like to recognize supporting racer Matt Long and his career-best finish in the Fastrak Touring Series during Late Model Mania at Lavonia Speedway in Georgia.
