[Andy Greene]

i SWORE HE GOT EM TILL i SAW THE REPLAY

Awesome drive Martin and a pretty nice start to the season.

 

[Ron Olson]

Damn son, that was close! I was yelling thinking that he had it in the bag!

After going to a 2nd back-up car and going to Toyota he still has to be proud of his finish.

 

[David Bryant]

Great job MTJ

lol - I was just telling the wife, he knows faaar too well what .01 's mean with his Oval record runs

I will say , even for a non Nascar fan , she even enjoyed the finish. Nascar / Daytona and the racers put on a hell of a show today .

 

[Andy Greene]

Go get em Martin - this is your house today

 

[Andy Greene]

Hell of a run today MTJ - Strong start to the season , you guys looked great today

 

[Joey Jones]

Man....MTJ got me back to following this series when he made the Championship run last year...damnit.

Good run, again, so that's good.

Tell ya what, that Blaney kid in the Wood Brother's #21 is something to watch. He got really screwed on the last lap, but was top 15 all day...same in Daytona. I really think they have something with that car/driver.

[Andy Greene]

Yeah but Martin runs RC Boats

I hear ya though Joey, This is this first season in a loooong time I have watched 2 complete races in a row.

Speaking of newer drivers, Chase had a good day as well, they needed a good bounce back from Daytona- He is one to watch.

Shame Martin got shuffled back on the GWC. Played it smart though, 7th is better than a wreck & a DNF. Ran well all day, good start to the season (-; I'm wanting to see how Rico Abreau does in the truck series. That guy can wheel a sprint car, won the Chili Bowl last 2 years in a row. No small feat (no pun intended). In the interviews I've seen, he says the right things, playing it smart, finished both races, learning & not pushing too hard. Hope his NASCAR career pans out like his dirt track career has, he will be someone to watch IMHO (-;

 

[Ray Sametz]

Is it me or did they screw the pooch on the tire compound?

 

[Ron Olson]

Not really. The teams were dropping the air pressure too far down and it bit them.

 

[Ray Sametz]

Suck a meat axe, my driver 88 out at lap 50.

The big one is starting early.

 

[Ray Sametz]

Damn, Jr. sponsor in not TARGET, but he got one on his back today.

 

[Ray Sametz]

Truex is out there crabbing all bandaged up.

 

[Ron Jefferson]

Happy day for me. No Busch in the winners circle.
